In Optoelectronic Nanodevice Research Laboratory (OPTO NANO GROUP) led by Dr. Mukesh Kumar in Department of Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore we have been working on Optoelectronic Devices, Nanoelectronics, Integrated Photonics, and Nanofabrication. OPTO NANO GROUP is actively involved in the design and fabrication of number of on-chip devices and functionalities for optical communication, interconnects, computing, bio-chemical sensing, and memory applications. Our research group focuses on realizing new/improved optoelectronic functions by utilizing engineered (1D and 2D photonic crystals) and/or hybrid 2D materials (graphene etc.) into our devices.

Following are the thrust areas of our research:

Integrated Photonics
Silicon Photonics
Optoelectronic Devices
Nanoelectronics
Nano-scale Devices for memory and computing
Devices for Optical Fibre Communication and Interconnects
Nanofabrication & VLSI Technology
Integrated CMOS Photonics
Nanophotonics
Bio-chemical Sensors
Microwave Photonics

We focus on Device Innovations through novel designs and cost-effective fabrication of on-chip devices based on smart and engineered materials for future communication, computing and sensing.The group has ongoing research collaborations with leading scientists in India, UK, Italy, South Korea, France, Russia and USA.
