My name is Rapti Ghosh.
At present, I am working as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Dr. Junhong Chen's lab at the CSE division, Argonne National Laboratory, U.S.A in collaboration with the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering Division, University of Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.
I have completed my Ph.D. (June 2022) in nano-optoelectronics and semiconductor physics at Academia Sinica in collaboration with the National Central University (NCU) and National Taiwan University (NTU) of Taiwan (R.O.C). During this time, I worked at Semiconductor Laboratory under the guidance of Prof. Yang-Fang Chen, Prof. Mario Hofmann, and Prof. Ya-Ping Hsieh.
My current research work broadly focuses on the design, fabrication, and characterization of 2D nanomaterials-based sensors for the detection of chemical (e.g., P, N, K) and gas molecules (e.g., CO2, N2) in air and water. In my PhD, I worked on the development of high-performance optoelectronic devices out of 2D material-based nano-cavity structures, which can intensify the photo-confinement effect. My idea is to vary the morphology of atomically thin 2D materials to manipulate light-matter interaction and utilize that to fabricate nano-scaled highly sensitive optoelectronic, e.g., photodetectors, random lasers, photoelectrochemical, etc., devices. My research interest is the fundamental study of the light-matter interaction of the system in a low-dimensional regime. I indulged myself in the development of nanometer to micrometer scale devices for sensing, optical memory, solar cells, and renewable energy applications.

Before joining Academia Sinica, I completed my M.Sc. in physics from the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad in the year 2017. I did my undergraduate B.Sc. (Hons.) in physics from the Lady Brabourne College under the University of Calcutta.
As an experimental researcher, my work is strictly interdisciplinary, including material science, chemical engineering, photonics, and condensed matter physics.
I believe that to be an experimental scientist, one needs to be independent and acquire different skills. I have participated in many science activities and outreach programs. I was the student chairperson and secretary-general of the Physical Society of Taiwan (TPS).
Beyond my research time, I like to follow my passion for drawing, photography, poetry writing, and dancing.
That is all for now. Please contact me if you have any questions or interests, or just want to say ‘hi’.
