About me

Hello there, thanks for being here!

I am Shantanu, an M.S. graduate in Materials science & engineering from Cornell University. I completed my undergraduation from BITS Pilani with an integrated B.E. in Chemical engineering and M.Sc. in Chemistry. I work as a Senior Process Engineer at Applied Materials in the Santa Clara headquarters, working on advancing Plasma-enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition (PE-ALD) for next-generation semiconductor nodes on advanced transistor devices (GAAFET and HEMT) - the tiny little electrical switches that form the foundation of all modern electronics today.

My prior research comprises quantum dots, self-assembling amphiphiles, multiscale hierarchical structures, organic photosensitizer moieties, and catalytic nanomotors.

For more details about my research please refer to my CV, publications, patents, and book chapter. Please feel free to reach out if you share any mutual interests or would just like to talk!
