He has been a faculty at the institute since July 2013. Dr. Parasuraman’s research group in IITM works on printed electronics and physical vapor deposition of thin films and nanoparticles. They are developing low-cost electronic devices by adapting conventional printing techniques to metals and semiconductors. Dr. Parasuraman is currently working on photovoltaics, light emitting diodes, and sensors, based on metal oxide nanoparticles. His group also works on thermal evaporation of metallic thin films and nanoparticles and on ways to integrate them with printed devices to make high efficiency hybrid devices.
