Perovskite Optoelectronic Devices

Dr. Basudev Pradhan has been serving as an assistant professor in the Department of Energy Engineering and the Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Green and Efficient Energy Technology (GEET) at the Central University of Jharkhand, Ranchi, India, since 2012. Prior to his current position, he held the prestigious "Alexander von Humboldt" research fellowship at the University of Potsdam, Germany, from 2010 to 2012. Dr. Pradhan was honored with the esteemed "Ramanujan Fellowship" from the Department of Science & Technology for the period of 2013–2017 and received the SERC Fast Track research grant for Young Scientists. He was also awarded the Bhaskara Advanced Solar Energy (BASE) Fellowship by the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) and worked at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida, USA, from 2018 to 2019. He is an experimental device physicist with expertise in the fields of perovskite solar cells, neuromorphic computers and nanoelectronic devices.
