Abstract
Abstract: Transport phenomena serve as a powerful tool for probing the quantum nature of solids, from single-particle behavior to many-body physics. In this talk, I will discuss how various transport measurements—such as electrical, thermal, and thermoelectric—are employed in our group to investigate diverse forms of quantum matter. Specifically, He will highlight our studies on anyonic quantum matter and twisted quantum systems based on two-dimensional materials.
Research Summary: Quantum Transport Group @ IISc, Bangalore - The main research focus is on "Transport phenomena in emerging quantum nano-devices." The group utilizes advanced transport probes such as electrical conductance, thermal conductance, noise and thermopower to investigate new collective phases and quantum phenomena. Their studies are centered on van der Waals heterostructures of graphene, twisted bilayer graphene and other two-dimensional materials.
Bio Summary: Prof. Das completed his Ph.D. in Physics at IISc, Bangalore, and is currently an Associate Professor of Physics at IISc. He received the Anil Kumar Award for the best Ph.D. thesis in Physics in 2009. In 2019, he was awarded the prestigious Swarnajayanti Fellowship (SJF) from the DST (India). He also received the 4th OXFORD Instruments Young Nano Scientist India Award in 2021 and the prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar (SSB) Prize in 2023.
