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 is
the author on several journal publications, including articles in Science,
Physical Review Letters, and Electron Device Letters among others. 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 the Joyce award for
excellence in undergraduate teaching in 2010.
