July 2026 Our paper "Charge-Induced Dynamics in Hexagonal Boron Nitride Nanoelectromechanical Resonators" published at Nano Letters. Congratulations to all authors! https://pubs.acs.org/nalefd/article/doi/10.1021/acs.nanolett.6c01552
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 are looking for ambitious postdoctoral researchers. If you are interested, please email Mandar to explore.
We are periodically interested in hiring Project students , sometimes as JRFs (depending on funding) for year long projects. If you are interested, please email Mandar. The ability to work hard as part of a team is a key requirement.
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.
