My research lies at the intersection of functional materials, nanoscience, and brain-inspired computing, with the objective of developing next-generation electronic systems that emulate the efficiency of biological intelligence. We investigate the design, fabrication, and nanoscale characterization of organic and hybrid functional materials, including thin films and molecular architectures, using advanced Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) techniques such as AFM, STM, and conductive AFM to establish structure–property relationships. Our work has demonstrated novel memristive switching phenomena in molecular materials, paving the way for low-power neuromorphic devices.

A major focus of our research is the development of memristors, resistive switching devices, and crossbar architectures for neuromorphic computing, in-memory computing, and hardware artificial intelligence. By integrating innovations in materials, device physics, and nanoscale characterization, we aim to bridge fundamental condensed matter research with scalable electronic technologies. Through collaborations spanning Physics, Chemistry, Materials science, Electronics, and Computer engineering, we aspire to develop indigenous technologies that contribute to India's semiconductor and AI ecosystem while advancing fundamental scientific understanding.
