2008-Present: Faculty member in Materials Program, Faculty of Engineering and
Natural Sciences,
2007-2008:
Post-doctoral Associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Research
topic: Probing of surface electronic states on electrochemical activity of
solid oxide cathodes)
2006-2007: AvH Fellow at Max Planck Institute of Microstructure
Physics (Research topic: Effect of interfaces and periodicity on electrical
properties of ferroelectric superlattices)
Our research is
centered around understanding the effects of defects, interfaces and
microstructure on the physical properties of functional oxides and materials in
confined dimensions. Using continuum level computational and experimental
approaches, we try to reveal the mechanisms by which defects and interfaces
impact the physical properties and at what magnitude this occurs. Such
knowledge is the key to design and fabricate structures in various geometries
for specific engineering applications. The applications governed by such
phenomena encompass macro- and micro-scale capacitors for electric energy
storage, non-volatile solid state memories, nanoscale devices and
electrooptical thin films. Our group’s research covers:
Ferroelectric-semiconductor
interfaces, resistive memory action of such systems.
Phase
transitions in functional oxides and artificially grown
multilayers/superlattices.
Effect of
defects on thermodynamics and phase transitions of crystalline materials.
Ferromagnetic
materials in confined dimensions
Growth of
ferroelectric and multiferroic films using chemical precursor methods and their
characterization.
Electrocaloric
effect in ferroelectric solid solutions and its applications.
