Research area The wide bandgap group III-nitrides and ultra-wide bandgap group III-oxides are the future of electronics and optoelectronics devices. They will serve as the backbone of clean, green and cool solutions. The Wide-Bandgap Materials and Devices Lab uses novel materials, device designs and unconventional methods to help bring these emerging materials to the market, at an accelerated pace.
What excites you about your work?
“The work I do in my lab has many real-world use applications, and the technology we develop has the potential to be useful in the real world. I do more applied physics–that excites me the most–and with WARF on campus, making things simple for researchers to invent and get help commercializing stuff, there are many ways to get inventions out into the world.”
What do you hope to achieve?
“I would consider my research accomplished if the work I’m doing in the lab makes it to the real world. That’s when I feel I’ve done my job well.”
Chirag is developing the next generation of electronics through wide-band-gap semiconductor materials that promote faster, higher-powered and more efficient devices. We’re excited to help bring these breakthroughs from the lab to commercialization.
