Research Interest
Sanjiv’s group works on various aspects of semiconductor physics and flexible electronics. Some of the core areas are:
- Reliability of Flexible Electronic Systems: Self healing of Open Circuit Faults (to improve the reliability of interconnects on flex), ESD protection.
- Device Physics and Integrated Circuits: Device Engineering and Fabrication of Non-Crystalline Semiconductors.
- Mechanics: Interplay between the Mechanics of Flexible Substrates and the Electronic Properties of Semiconductor Devices
- Energy Harvesting: Particularly focused on applications in flexible electronics (eg. polymer piezoelectrics)
