All India Exam Qualified:

 Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) National Eligibility Test (NET) Dec.2007, Govt. of
India
 Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineers (GATE) 2007 All India Rank:31

Teaching Experience
 As a teaching assistant, I have taken tutorial classes for B. Tech 1st year students for two
semesters (3 lectures per week for Physics-1 course) at the Dept. of Physics and
Meteorology, IIT Kharagpur during 2010-13.
 I acted as a laboratory instructor for B. Tech students at the Dept. of Physics and
Meteorology, IIT Kharagpur during 2010-14.
 As a teaching assistant, I acted as a laboratory instructor for postgraduate students (Lateral
M Sc and Integrated M Sc), Department of Physics & Meteorology, IIT Kharagpur during
2013-14.
Research Experience

Post PhD:
 For the last three years, I have worked as a Post Doctoral Fellow in National Chiao Tung
University, Taiwan. I have been working on the metal-oxide based transparent RRAM
devices and selector devices. I have successfully fabricated a ZnO/CeO2 bilayer TRRAM
device exhibiting three orders of retention and endurance of more than 2000 cycles. I
have fabricated bipolar p-n-p selector with selectivity about 104 and integrated it with an
RRAM to study the 1S1R devices. A 650 kb size of cross bar array is calculated to be
possible using the 1S1R device, we fabricated showing its potential in the future memory
technology.
