Ashish Kumar

Dr. Ashish Kumar completed his PhD in Nanotechnology and Nanoelectronics from Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Indore. He obtained his M.Tech in Microelectronics and VLSI Design from Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra. During his internship at IIT Bombay, he fabricated and demonstrated memristor devices and was awarded the IITB-Internship Research Award.

After his PhD, he received various national and international fellowships to work as an independent researcher on silicon SERS technology at CSIR-CEERI Pilani, Memristor and AI chips at Zhejiang University (ZJU) in Hangzhou, China, and CNT-FETs-based systems on a chip for detecting foodborne pathogens at ARO-Volcani Center, Israel. Moreover, he was also associated with Mylab Discovery Solutions Pvt. Ltd. to develop an advanced COVID-19 test kit during the pandemic.

Overall, his research interests extend from materials to devices, systems for electronics and bio-applications. Dr. Kumar brings 7 years of interdisciplinary working experience to empower young minds with skills for sustainable industry development.
