Material Science

We explore various aspects of material science, starting from synthesis to charazterization and ultimately device fabriaction. While his early research primarily focused on electronic materials, Dr. Monu Mishra has since diversified their portfolio to encompass a broad spectrum of materials. This expansion includes work on advanced structural materials for carbon capture & sustainable development, biomaterials and novel materials for energy storage and conversion.

Surfaces and Interfaces 

Surfaces and Interfaces play a greater role in governing the overall performance of a device. Therefore, we explore the surface and interface properties of various materials systrems at atomic level. These studies are done with the help of collaborators using various state-of-art surface sensitive characterization techniques i.e., photoemission spectroscopy and optical/electron microscopy.

Semiconductor Devices 

The ultimate goal of a research activities is the development of next generation device structures or new technologies. With our prime focus on electronic materials, we explore the next generation semiconductors for potential application in optoelectronics, microelectronics and photovoltaics. These devices harness the transformative power of light, seamlessly blending optics and electronics to drive innovation across industries. Therefore, we intened to use our knowledge of materials to dive into the world of optoelectronics and make cutting-edge advancements in the next generation devices. From lasers to photodetectors to solar cells, we aim to shape the future of communication, energy, and beyond. 

OTHER Emerging areas  

Besides our conventional areas of research, we are also expanding our horizons and have started exploring some new fields as mentioned below. Although we have started some basic work, collaborators are always welcome. 

1.  Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 

2.  Theoretical and Computational Studies of Energy Materials 

3.  Environmental Science and Climate Change 

4.  Biomaterials and their Applications

We are always open for ideas about our activities and future areas.
