About SUSHOBHAN AVASTHI

Prof.Sushobhan has worked in the field of semiconductor device fabrication technology for more than 10 years, specializing on photovoltaics. His PhD thesis was on organic/Si heterojunction silicon solar cells. He then worked as a post-doctoral research associate in the Princeton Institute of Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM), where he worked on oxide/Si heterojunction solar cells. Since 2014, he has been working an assistant professor in the Indian Institute of Science at the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), Indian Institute of Science (IISc). In 2014, he was awarded Sir Visvesvaraya Young Faculty Research Fellowship by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. In 2018 he was awarded the Young Engineer Award by the Indian National Academy of Engineers (INAE). He is a young associate of the INAE, member of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and member of MRS. Sushobhans current research interests are thin-film photovoltaics, heterojunction solar cells, and metal-oxide electronics. He has authored over 30 research papers and holds a Taiwanese patent (US and European patent applications pending).Sushobhan is a member of the Administration Committee of the National Nanofabrication Facility at CeNSE. He is also a member of the Institute Safety Committee and Safety warden for CeNSE
