Welcome to the Laboratory for Advanced Nanoelectronic Devices at SRM Research Institute of Science and Technology. We focus on the Physics of new electronic device structures and concepts. We investigate the nature of charge transport in a wide range of electronic materials across various dimensions. Innovative schemes of manoeuvring, processing, and engineering of low-dimensional materials are explored to analyse new phenomena and applications. We also venture into understanding quantum functionalities of electronic devices. The interdisciplinary nature of research covers experimental Semiconductor Physics, Materials Science, Electronics and Electrical Engineering. All these activities are aimed towards new-generation manufacturing technologies for large-area nano-electronics for 2D and 3D device integration.
Open positions:
ONE postdoc and TWO PhD positions are available.
We are hiring and looking for talented and motivated research scholars to join the group. For more details, see 'opportunities'.
