Fully Funded Research Internship Available
We invite applications for a fully funded Research Internship under the prestigious IITB Research Internship Awards 2026–27 scheme. The selected candidate will drive cutting-edge research on the "In-house synthesis of ferroelectric sputtering targets and growth of epitaxial thin films," commencing in December 2026 or January 2027. Motivated final-year Master's students are strongly encouraged to apply. Please consult the official IRCC Internship webpage for comprehensive details and application procedures.
Research Highlights
Vertically Aligned Nanocomposite (VAN) films
Self-assembled nanocolumns embedded in a matrix via PLD. These structures enable strain-tuned ferroelectric & piezoelectric properties, engineered oxygen vacancies for ReRAM, and high surface area mesoporous films for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting.
Learn MoreEpitaxial Membranes
Exploring the fabrication of epitaxial free-standing membranes via thin film growth and selective chemical etching.
Learn MorePrinted Electronics
Development of printed electronic devices from bespoke functional inks for energy harvesting and sensing applications.
Learn MorePiezoelectric MEMS
Advanced research and development of Piezoelectric Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) devices.
