Biography:
Dr. Jain has done his Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from IIT Delhi and was head of the silicon devices and Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) division and developed many new technologies. His result of electro-luminescence in porous silicon was considered as the first International observation. He has published more than 200 papers in National & International journals, edited a few books and has filed more than 60 patents. He has received the Technology award in 2002. He has made a multidisciplinary department with most modern facilities in Amity University. He got the Award in 2012 from “Power of Ideas” (DST programme) and from Royal Academy of U.K. He has develop many technologies and some have been transferred to industries. He is working in the areas of photovoltaics, solar energy, thermal heat storage system, sensors, bio sensors, water purification, MEMS, lots of devices have been made using heterojunction Silicon nanowires and surface metallic plasmonic, etc.
Title : Fabrication of heterojunctions on silicon nanowires on Si chip, CdS/p-Si for electricity generation from moisture and n-SnO2/p-Si for UV detection
