Dr. Rupak Banerjee is  an experimental condensed matter Physicist by training with expertise in the area of "Nanotechnology." Dr. Banerjee obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (University of Calcutta). His doctoral work focused on the ordering, structural properties, and morphology of self-assembled nanostructured materials at surfaces and interfaces. He moved on to Germany as a postdoc where he worked on organic semiconductors employed in photovoltaics and plasmonics. He joined IIT Gandhinagar in July 2015. His area of research includes Nanoscience in energy applications, Physics of Surface and Interfaces, and Material Science.
