Biographical Sketch:
Debdeep Jena received the B. Tech. degree with a major in
Electrical Engineering and a minor in Physics from the Indian Institute of
Technology (IIT) Kanpur in 1998, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and
Computer Engineering at the University
of California, Santa
Barbara (UCSB) in 2003. He joined the
faculty of the department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame in 2003.
His research and teaching interests are in the MBE growth and device
applications of quantum semiconductor heterostructures
(currently III-V nitride semiconductors), investigation of charge transport in nanostructured semiconducting materials such as graphene, nanowires and nanocrystals, and their device applications, and in the
theory of charge, heat, and spin transport in nanomaterials. He has received two best student paper awards
in 2000 and 2002 for his Ph.D. dissertation research, the NSF CAREER award in
2007, and an undergraduate teaching award in 2009.
