Current Research

Currently my group is exclusively exploring various kinds of layered materials to study fundamental physics as well as to develop novel multifunctional electronic and optoelectronic devices based on these materials. We aim to contribute significantly in the development of 2D materials based disruptive science and technology starting from materials growth to high quality multifunctional devices. We believe that high performance electro/optoelectronics need the exquisite materials and immaculate integration process, therefore, the materials and methodologies once established for this domain would certainly be useful for other domains of science and technology.
