Abhinav Kranti worked at Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium), Queen’s University Belfast (UK), and Tyndall National Institute (Ireland), before joining Indian Institute of Technology Indore, India, in November 2010.
Interested in a PhD position in my group?
My research group (Low Power Nanoelectronics Research Group) is engaged in pioneering research on capacitorless dynamic random access memory, steep switching devices, multifunctional transistors, quantum phenomenon, CMOS analog/rf design, and material-device-circuit co-design all of which are essential for the development of next generation logic and memory technology. The group has strong collaborations with leading international researchers, and after completing PhD, students receive offers for post-doctoral positions abroad.
I am actively seeking exceptionally talented and motivated candidates who are willing to transform themselves as independent thinkers through a proper foundation. This interesting journey requires dedication, ability to learn new concepts and teamwork. Strong background in Semiconductor Devices, Nanoelectronics, CMOS Technology, VLSI and Circuit Design would be helpful.
