Prof. Santanu Talukder

Dr. Santanu did his undergraduate in Physics and in Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering both from Jadavpur University, Kolkata.. After that he moved to IISc, Bangalore, for his Masters and Ph.D. in Nanoscience and Engineering, where he worked on material transport and lithography at micro and nano scale. After Ph.D., he joined Weizmann Institute of Science, in Israel, for his Post-Doctoral studies on self-assembled monolayer. Since last October, he is working as a faculty member in Electrical Engineering department of IISER Bhopal. He has received several awards/grants. To name a few best PhD thesis award from Indian National Academy of Engineers in 2016, Gandhian Young Technical Innovation award in 2017, Freinberg Graduate Scholarship in 2017, Birac-Sristi grant for the year 2017-2018. His research interests are in micro and nano scale devices and sensors, Lithography, IoT System Development, etc.
