• Biography

  Amrit Palaria completed his PhD in ECE at Purdue University, where he conducted research on structural, electronic and mechanical properties, and device applications of nanostructures such as silicon nanowires and heterostructures using computational methods. He focused on density functional theory, molecular dynamics, GW approximation and tight-binding modeling. His work was co-supervised by Prof. Gerhard Klimeck and Prof. Alejandro Strachan. He also served as the president of the Student Leadership Council of NCN at Purdue University.

  Amrit completed M.S. in ECE at the University of Arizona where he carried out research in the College of Optical Sciences and the Advanced Micro and Nanosystems Lab. He experimentally demonstrated stable charge written in silicon dioxide using Kelvin probe force microscopy for electrostatic nano-assembly. Prior to coming to US, he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering from Harcourt Butler Technological Institute (HBTI), India.

  Besides research in the physics of materials, processes and devices at nano-scale, Amrit also enjoys programming, developing software and designing circuits.
