Ms. Vincelet Jobikha A | Glass Ceramics | Young Scientist Award

Ms. Vincelet Jobikha is a dedicated Ph.D. researcher specializing in glass and glass ceramics, focusing on rare earth-doped tellurite glasses for radiation shielding applications at Saveetha Engineering College, affiliated with Anna University. Her research involves synthesizing rare earth-doped tellurite glass using the melt-quenching method and investigating its structural properties through XRD and FTIR analysis, optical behavior via UV-Vis-NIR and photoluminescence studies, and gamma-ray shielding potential through parameters such as MAC, LAC, Zeff, and HVL, aiming at applications in radiation protection and dosimetry. She has contributed to several publications, including a study on lead-free Tm³⁺ doped zinc tellurite glass and Ho³⁺ doped zinc borophosphate glass in Radiation Physics and Chemistry, and holds multiple patents for innovative glass systems for radiation shielding. Vincelet has actively engaged in international and national conferences, presenting her work at forums such as the International Conference on Sustainable Materials for Energy Applications, the 3rd International Conference on Light Applications in Science & Engineering Research, and the International Conference on Innovations in Science and Humanities. She has participated in seminars on nanoelectronics and advanced functional materials, workshops on microstructural analysis and research proposal writing, and GIAN courses focused on functional coatings and nanomaterials in chemical and biosensors, which have expanded her expertise in advanced glass materials and their multifunctional applications. Her research contributions highlight a strong foundation in materials synthesis, structural and optical characterization, and applied radiation shielding, demonstrating both academic rigor and practical relevance. With active participation in conferences, seminars, and workshops, she continues to build a robust profile in materials science research, contributing valuable insights toward sustainable and advanced materials for energy, healthcare, and radiation protection applications.
