Best Oral talk Award at SAFS 2025
Our pioneering research on the phase diagram of polar skyrmions in oxide superlattices has been recognized with the Best Oral Talk Award at the SAFS 2025. This work establishes the fundamental understanding of skyrmion stability across temperature and electric field regimes, opening new pathways for next-generation quantum and neuromorphic devices
CEFIPRA Research Grant
Our group has been awarded a research grant from CEFIPRA (Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research) to advance collaborative studies on complex oxide/nitride thin films. This prestigious support fosters international collaboration, enabling us to combine expertise in synthesis, advanced characterization, and theory to explore novel functionalities with direct relevance to next-generation electronic and quantum technologies.
Photo-detector Laser Security System Featured in Hindustan Times
One of the experiments demonstrated by our team at IISc Open Day, the Photo-detector Laser Security System, was highlighted by Hindustan Times. The exhibit showcased how a simple laser–photodetector arrangement can be used to design an efficient security system, sparking curiosity and engaging the wider public in the fundamentals of optoelectronic sensing.
