I am a PhD student in the  Electrical Engineering Department of University of California, Riverside (UCR) since Fall 2005.  I am currently pursuing research in the Nano-Device Laboratory under the  guidance of Prof. Alexander Balandin.

My work revolves around the characterization of  nano-materials leading to thermal management of nanostructured devices and circuits. Along with experimental techniques for measuring thermal properties at nanoscale,  modeling  and theoretical study of effects of phonon confinement on the lattice thermal conductivity  adds a new dimension to my work.

In the course of my pursuit for doctoral degree, I have obtained my MS degree in Nano-materials, devices and circuits  from UCR and during  my tryst with the course work, I was enamored  with  the  enigma  of  quantum mechanics, solid state and semiconductor device physics. The groundwork, of course had been prepared during my project on usage of carbon nanotubes as molecular device element in Jadavpur  University, INDIA from where I obtained my Bachelors in Electrical Engineering.

As I continue my journey  into this world of nanotechnology, new aspects  unfold in front me everyday and I am relishing every bit of it.  If  you are interested to know more about  me and my work, please view my resume,  research and biography.
