We are looking for motivated Ph.D. students who are already admitted in the Ph.D. / Int PhD program at TIFR. If you are interested, please email Mandar.
We focus on probing the physics at the nanometer scale in a variety of systems. We study electron transport, topological properties and electromechanics in nanostrutures. Our work uses the nanofabrication facility at TIFR. Additionally, we use a combination of commercial and home-made electronics to measure the electronic signals from nanoscale devices. The goal of our work is to probe unique quantum mechanical effects and probe phenomena that is unique to nanoscale systems.
The reason for our exploration is to understand different aspects of fundamental physics and to explore potential applications.
We will accept reasonable requests for visiting our lab with advance notice. Please note that TIFR is National lab and to enter TIFR you need prior permission and a government issued ID card for a visit.
