Yamijala Siva Rama Krishna Chaitanya Sharma (also known as YSRKC Sharma, SRKC Sharma Yamijala and Chaitanya Yamijala) was born in an Hindu Brahmin family on 6-Apr-1987. At present, he is pursuing his Ph.D. in Materials Science, under the supervision of both Prof. S. Balasubramanian [1] and Prof. Swapan K Pati,[2] at the Chemistry and Physics of Materials Unit (CPMU) of Jawaharlal Nehru Center for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), [3] Bangalore.

Early Life and Background

edit

His birth place is Arasavalli, a village in the Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh, India. His father, Sri Yamijala Ramaprasada Rao, is a well-known astrologer in the Srikakulam town. Sharma did his schooling, up to 8th class, in his village and then he moved to Little.J.K.Public School for his 10th class in the year 2002. He has completed his Intermediate from Gayatri college (2002-2004) and his degree from Aditya Degree College (2005-2008), Srikakulam. In 2008 he has moved to JNCASR, where he has been pursuing his studies as an Integrated Ph.D. student.

Research and Publications

edit

His research interests mainly cover the computational aspects of the materials science. Some of his major works includes:

  1. A computational study to understand the reason behind the red-shift in the absorption maximum of Chlorophyll f compared to Chlorophyll-b, where, Chlorophyll-f is a structural isomer of Chlorophyll-b. [1]
  2. Studying the effects of even and odd Stone-Wales line-defects on the electronic and magnetic properties of Boron-Nitride Nanoribbons.[2]
