Research Interests
-
- novel large area (semiconducting) two-dimensional material system for energy and electronic applications
- the process-structure and functional-property relationship of homoepitaxial growth of 4H- or 6H-SiC on variously varying off-cut SiC substrate, for crystal defects mitigation (basal plane dislocation, stacking faults) and to increase minority carrier lifetime for high power switching devices utilizing chemical vapor deposition (CVD) systems,
- high k-dielectrics to improve electronic and optoelectronic properties of electronic devices
- nanocrystalline metallic alloys for catalytic and electrode applications
- employing Optical, electro-mechanical, Electron microscopy and Spectroscopic Characterization techniques
