Solid State Electronic TechnologY (SSET)

Solid state physics explores the collective behaviour of atoms and stands as one of the largest disciplines under physics. At its core, it provides critical insights into the fundamental and emergent properties of materials. By understanding electron motion and interactions, scientists and engineers have been able to design advanced materials that form the backbone of modern electronic technologies. The field of solid state electronic technologies builds upon the principles of solid state physics, bridging the gap between fundamental science and practical applications. Spanning diverse topics such as quantum material device physics, nanoscience, thin-film technologies, energy and functional materials, this multidisciplinary domain drives advancements in energy storage, high-performance computing, optoelectronics, spintronics, nano-electronics, sensing, and signal processing. With these emerging technologies the potential to address current and future global challenges are boundless. The changing paradigms of job markets have made it compulsory for an academic programme to nurture a new breed of professionals – individuals equipped with the right kind of technical skills, knowledge, ability to think out-of-the box and disruptive innovation. The M. Tech. in SSET program provides ample opportunities for collaborative research work, internship and training with reputed industries all over India and abroad. Highly skilled students from the department are recruited regularly by leading industries with possibilities of developing start-ups.
