News and Updates

We are delighted to congratulate Dr. Santanu Talukder as he was selected as a Young Science and Technology Leader (YST) to attend ESTIC 2025 at New Delhi which was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India.

The three-day conclave featured discussions on frontier themes such as Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductors, Healthcare, and Quantum Technologies. It also hosted plenary sessions by distinguished speakers, including Nobel Laureate Prof. Andre Geim, Fields Medalist Prof. Manjul Bhargava, Astronaut and Group Captain Subhanshu Shukla, along with other eminent scientists and leaders.

An inspiring interaction with Dr Sangeeta N. Kale from the Department of Applied Physics, DIAT Pune, during her visit to IISER Bhopal! She delivered an engaging guest lecture and visited our lab, sharing valuable insights on cutting-edge research.

We proudly congratulate our first PhD student
Dr. Swapnendu Narayan Ghosh for being awarded the doctoral degree

Congratulations to Abhishek for winning the First Prize for the Best Poster Award during the Engineers' Day 2025 event

We are Happy to introduce Sougata Basak. He joins as an NPTEL Predoc fellow in our lab. Welcome Sougata!

We are Happy to introduce Jaishivarai Bagilgekar. He joins as an NPTEL Predoc fellow in our lab. Welcome Jai!

Adhisha won the best poster award in the 94th Annual Session of NASI - NASI 2024

ISSS International Conference on Micro, Nano and Smart Systems

Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru

Our work on OTSox Nanochannels just got published in ACS Nano. In this work, we have demonstrated extraordinary coupled electro-ionic conduction through -COOH nanochannels

Microfluidics

Our first work on Microfluidics (with Dr. Rati's group from the Chemistry department) got published in the BioMicrofluidics Journal. Here we successfully demonstrated a cost-effective microfabrication technique for making microfluidic chambers (with 8 micron openings) without using costly lithography processes. We successfully trapped worms (Caenorhabditis elegans) having diameters of about 50 microns inside this chamber. In addition, our chamber can separate out the eggs and newly born progenies from the fully grown worms.

Proton Conductivity

Our recent work (in collaboration with Prof. Aasheesh Srivastava and Dr. Amit Paul from the Chemistry department) on designing organic molecules (by mimicking nature) with high proton conductivity got featured on the cover page of Chem. Eur. J. and also got reported in India Science Wire news. This research will be useful for the efficient conversion of electrochemical energy in Fuel cells for EVs and other battery-based applications.

Saleem won the best poster prize in the EECS Research Symposium 2023

Anirban won the best poster prize in the EECS Research Symposium 2023

PawaMaan

Abhishek, Parth, Soham, and Mohit (EECS and DSE BS students) developed an air quality monitoring device and mobile application called PawaMaan as a low-cost portable sloution for real time monitoring of air quality. Our device won the 2nd position in the 'Environmental Sensing Project Competition' hosted by the University of Helsinki, Finland.

Abhishek (3rd from right) and Anirban (2nd from right) won best poster prize on the occasion of Engineer's day.

Santanu received the 'Distinguished Teacher Award' from IISER Bhopal for getting the highest score (based on student evaluation) for the Basic Electronics course.
