“Process Engineering for
Functional Nanomaterials"


Ongoing Projects

Process development to fabricate nanostructured thin films on flexible substrates using low-cost additive patterning techniques, such as inkjet printing; and Product Development to fabricate low-cost sensors for ubiquitous sensing applications, as well as chemical/mechanical sensing applications is underway.
Reactor design for continuous flow synthesis of noble metal nanoparticles is also being pursued.
Welcome

Research Philosophy: The main stimuli for pursuing research projects in an engineering environment are the existence of a creative idea and an economic incentive, derived from its perceived uses.
The underlying theme of research activities in my group at IISc is the development of a process engineering ‘toolkit’ comprising of cost-effective and environmentally-benign processes that will enable the use of nanostructures as building blocks for future nanoelectronic and energy conversion devices. We are also involved in the development of low-cost, additive fabrication techniques for forming nanostructured devices on flexible substrates.

Research Facilities
The group has access to state of the art facilitiues at CeNSE which houses several nanoscale characterization facilities. Apart from these, standard spectroscopic instrumentation and millipore DI water systems are available as common departmental facilities.
NOTE: . If you require help with characterizing a few samples, please contact CeNSE
