PROJECT EXPERIENCE (CONTD)

Electrical characterization of amorphous solids, dielectric and ferroelectric thin films and bulk ceramics (2003-2009)

• Conducted electrical characterization experiments on undoped and As-doped amorphous Selenium, BaTiO3, SrTiO3, Ba(SrxTi1-x)O3 thin films and bulk ceramics as a function of temperature to model the electronic transport mechanism, analyzed and interpreted the data to extract device parameters and correlated the data to the process variables.

Impedance Spectroscopy and NMR diffusivity measurements of polymer materials (2004-2007)

• Conducted impedance spectroscopy for series of Li doped polyurethane samples to study the dielectric relaxation and to determine the resistivity as a function of temperature. Nuclear magnetic resonance had been done to obtain ionic diffusivity. The data from NMR and impedance spectroscopy were correlated to model the ionic conduction mechanism. Performed differential scanning calorimetry to measure the glass transition temperature.

Experience in Industrial Research

• 2 years experience in collaborative research work with Intermolecular Inc. San Jose CA.( 2007-2009)

o Performed electrical testing for non volatile memory devices. Compared the data for different materials system to provide the feedback for materials development.

• 3 years experience in collaborative research work with Hewlett-Packard, San Diego. (2004-2007)
