EDUCATION

Ph.D. in EE from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

M.S. in Electrical Engineering

 

ACTIVE RESEARCH

 

Nanoelectronics

1) Developing non-volatile memory devices based on physical generation and recombination of neutral metallic atoms and clusters in solid electrolytes. 2) Developing complementary nano-electromechanical switches (CNEMS) using carbon nanotubes for electronics

Sensors & Actuators: MEMS and NEMS

Developing carbon nanotube based resonators and strain gauges with gauge factors around 1000 and nanometer footprint.

Bio-interfacing

Investigation electrodes for neurodynamic studies.

Nanometrology

Developing atomic force microscopes with microwave measurement capabilities to image embedded nano-objects such as mitochondria and other organelles inside cells.

Physical Sequencing of DNA

Developing a chip to physically sequence DNA with a million base per second.

POTENTIAL IMPACT

The research I am conducting is to address certain issues in the electronics industry, bio-interfacing, and in genomics.
