Prof. Partha Barman | Nanotechnology | Best Academic Researcher Award

Prof. Partha Bir Barman, currently Professor and Head of the Department of Physics & Materials Science at Jaypee University of Information Technology, is an Indian materials physicist whose research spans bulk crystal growth of III-V compound semiconductors, chalcogenide glasses and thin films, oxidation studies of III-V materials, device fabrication and characterization, and nano-ferrite and graphene-based layered materials for hydrogen storage and selective gas sensing. He earned his M.Sc. in Physics (Solid State Physics) and his Ph.D. in Physics (Materials Science) from Indian universities with the entire experimental work carried out at the Materials Science Centre, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. Over his career he has supervised eight Ph.D. students to completion and currently guides four more. His publication profile, according to Google Scholar, shows an h-index of 25 with over 2,260 citations. He has been awarded a CSIR Research Fellowship, held multiple major projects supported by Indian funding agencies (MHRD, DST, SERB, HIMCOSTE) and serves on the editorial and peer-review panels of leading materials science journals. In his teaching role spanning nearly two decades, he has taught and developed courses in Engineering Materials, Nanotechnology, Thin Film Technology and Materials Science across undergraduate and postgraduate levels. His contributions have advanced semiconductor crystal growth and sensing materials and point to a vibrant future in device-materials interplay.
