About

Dr. Yogesh Sharma is presently working as Assistant Professor (Sr. Grade) in the Department of Physics & Environmental Sciences, Sharda School of Engineering and Science (SSES), Sharda University, Greater Noida, U.P. since August 2025. He brings with him over seven years of academic experience in teaching and research. Prior to joining Sharda University, he worked as an Assistant Professor at SGT University, Gurugram, Haryana, for nearly six years (February 2020 – August 2025). He earned his Ph.D. in Physics (Condensed Matter Physics – Photonics) from Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in 2019, followed by postdoctoral research at the Institute for Plasma Research, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. In 2024, Dr. Sharma was awarded the Department of Science and Technology (DST) – Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) Core Research Grant for his extramural project on Bloch Surface Mode Excitation and Nonreciprocity in Infrared and Tera/Giga-hertz Frequency Range Using Magnetophotonic Crystals, marking a significant contribution to this emerging field.

His research expertise lies in Photonic Crystals, Photonics, and Metamaterials. He is the editor of the book Photonic Materials: Emerging Research and Applications and has demonstrated extensive contributions in his domain through impactful research. To date, he has authored 40 SCI-indexed publications, 1 patent, and 4 book chapters. Dr. Sharma actively engages in international and national conferences, seminars, and workshops. Through dedicated mentorship, he has guided several postgraduate dissertations and successfully supervised doctoral candidates. He is also a member of Optica and the Raman International Optronics Society, and has played a key role in organizing academic and research events.
