Senthamarai Kannan Ethirajulu
About the Faculty
Dr. Kannan joined Department of Physics in BITS Pilani-K. K. Birla Goa campus in 2012. He completed his doctorate in experimental condensed matter physics in 2009 from Sungkyunkwan Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology. For his doctoral thesis he studied the transport characteristics of GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures embedded with In As quantum dots and investigated the possible application of the heterostructure to develop variable mobility transistors and high density quantum dot based memory devices. Following his Ph.D. work, he joined Industrial Electronic Application Centre at Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea and investigated electrical and optical properties of nanostructures for single electron and photon based mobile device applications. In 2010, he was awarded CNRS postdoctoral fellowship at Grenoble High Magnetic Field Laboratory to develop Si/SiGe heterostructure based microwave and terahertz detectors and current generators.
