Saptarshi Das completed his B.E. in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (ETCE) from Jadavpur University, India in 2007 and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from Purdue University, USA in 2013. He worked at the Department of Defense’s Argonne National Laboratory, USA as a Postdoctoral Research Scholar from 2013 to 2015 and as an Assistant Research Scientist from 2015 to 2016. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM) and Material Research Institute (MRI) at the Pennsylvania State University, USA. He has received the Lab Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Award from Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in 2015 and Faculty Young Investigator Award from Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) in 2016. His current research work is funded by National Science Foundation (NSF),Semiconductor Research Consortium (SRC), Army Research Office (ARO), Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and Corning Incorporation. He has published 3 patents and more than 25 peer reviewed journal papers. His research group primarily focuses on the experimental investigation of novel nanomaterials, especially 2D materials like MoS2, WSe2, black phosphorus and graphene and 1D materials like CNTs and nanowires for post Si electronics, anticorrosion electronics, flexible electronics, optoelectronics and neuroelectronics applications.
Corrosion is a global economic challenge. US alone spends over $1 trillion annually, ~6% of the GDP, in maintaining high ways, bridges, railroads, airplanes, ships, automobiles, drinking water systems, energy distribution systems, industrial manufacturing tools, house hold appliances, and so on and so forth. Preventing or deaccelerating corrosion processes through efficient and low-cost anti-corrosion coatings could have great socio-economic impact. Further using anticorrosion coatings as active,energy efficient and ultra-fast electronic and optoelectronic components willbe truly revolutionizing and mark a paradigm shift. In this talk, I willelucidate on the superior corrosion resistance of monolayers of various twodimensional (2D) materials under intense electro-oxidation conditions. I will also demonstrate how these 2D monolayers can be implemented in various high performance, energy efficient and low cost, anticorrosion electronic and optoelectronic applications.
