I'm Sunil Gupta, a physics-trained Materials Scientist with an M.Sc. in Physics (Materials Science specialisation) from the University of Mumbai. My work centres on PVD coating characterisation, thin-film & surface engineering, and the thermal and structural behaviour of polymer nanocomposites. I combine rigorous experimental methodology with structured data analysis to support coating development, quality assurance, and advanced materials R&D.
