Sathyanarayan PunniyakotiDr. P. Sathyanarayanan is a Senior Assistant Professor in the School of Electronics Engineering (SENSE) at VIT University Vellore campus, Tamil Nadu, India. He obtained Ph.D. in Physics from the Nanostructured Physics Group of Hasselt University, Belium, and worked as a post-doctoral researcher on nanofabrication of molecular structures through nano-chemistry at the University of Lille, France. Dr. Sathyanarayanan has expertise in the ultrafast synthesis of nearly mono-disperse, well-ordered, and well-separated inorganic nanostructures using the micellar technique, with applications across different fields including optics, optoelectronics, magnetic recording-media, catalysis, chemical reactivity, nanotubes, nanowires, and biomedicine. He has also extensively researched low-pressure CVD-based growth of carbon nanostructures grown in-situ and characterization by XPS, AFM, SEM, TEM and Raman Spectroscopy, and recently developed a new design and fabrication of nanofluidic channels based on 3D prototyping of Hydrogen Silsesquioxane (HSQ) using electron beam lithography. Dr. Sathyanarayanan has published 15 research papers in peer-reviewed journals. Read More Read Less
