I am V.H. Damle, a scientist with a passion for understanding the fundamental principles of light-matter interactions. Although I have expertise in the field of optics, spectroscopy and nano metrology, I am always looking to learn more and expand my knowledge in these areas. I aspire to contribute to the field by researching and developing new spectroscopic techniques for detecting materials and probing light-matter interactions.

Outside of my professional pursuits, I enjoy traveling, hiking, reading philosophy, history, and non-fiction, and exploring nature, forests, and wildlife. Photography and farming are my hobbies that keep me connected with the nature and give me peace of mind.
