University of Calicut | India

Dr. Nighil Nath M. P. is a dedicated physicist and educator whose research focuses on condensed matter theory, materials science, glass-forming systems, plastic crystals, low-temperature physics, and broadband dielectric spectroscopy. With a strong foundation in both theoretical and experimental physics, he has significantly contributed to understanding the thermal and dielectric behaviors of orientationally disordered systems. His investigations using advanced techniques such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and temperature-controlled X-Ray Diffraction (X-RD) have shed light on the structural and phase transition dynamics of complex molecular materials. Dr. Nath earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Calicut, Kerala, in 2022, where his thesis, “Thermal and Spectroscopic Investigations on Some Plastic Crystals,” provided deep insights into the thermal and dielectric relaxation mechanisms in molecular solids. His academic journey began with a B.Sc. in Physics from Zamorin’s Guruvayurappan College (2008) and an M.Sc. in Physics from CMS College, Kottayam (2012). Over the years, he has demonstrated a strong passion for advancing material characterization techniques and understanding the microscopic processes governing physical properties of crystalline and amorphous materials. Dr. Nath’s publication record reflects his rigorous approach to scientific inquiry. His works have appeared in prestigious journals such as Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids, Indian Journal of Physics, Journal of Molecular Liquids, and Materials Today Proceedings. Among his notable contributions are studies on tetrahedrally coordinated organic plastic crystals, phase transition dynamics in cyclohexene oxide, and dielectric relaxation in ionic liquids. These papers not only enrich the literature on material science but also open new pathways for the application of plastic crystals and related compounds in energy storage and optoelectronic devices. Beyond research, Dr. Nath is an accomplished academic mentor, having guided over 50 M.Sc. students in various experimental and theoretical projects between 2014 and 2020. Currently serving as a High School Assistant (Physical Science) at the Government Higher Secondary School, Kakkodi, Kozhikode, Kerala, since December 2022, he continues to inspire young minds with his deep scientific insight and enthusiasm for discovery. His career reflects a harmonious blend of scientific innovation, academic excellence, and educational commitment, establishing him as a promising researcher and educator in the field of condensed matter and material physics.
