Dr. Dhriti Sundar Ghosh
Dr. Dhriti Sundar Ghosh currently works in the Department of Physics at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Dharwad as an Associate Professor. Dr. Ghosh received his PhD from ICFO- The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Barcelona, Spain working with Prof. Valerio Pruneri. He continued in the same group for his first postdoctoral stay and then joined IAPP- Dresden Integrated Center for Applied Physics and Photonic Materials, Dresden, Germany as a Beatriu de Pinos (BdP) Fellow. At IAPP, he was working with Prof. Karl Leo. He returned to India in 2017 as a Ramanujan Fellow and worked at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), New Delhi. In late 2017, he joined IIT Bhilai as an Assistant Professor and then shifted to IIT Dharwad in March 2023.
Dr. Ghosh mainly works in the field of thin films and interfaces with a particular focus on their fundamental growth properties and tailoring them for application in energy-efficient devices such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), transistors and photovoltaic devices- mainly organic and perovskite solar cells.
