Dr. Damodaran V. currently serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at the School of Engineering, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Chennai Campus.

“When the skies are clear, the ground is illuminated.” – Nichiren

Damodaran V (Damu) holds a Ph.D. in Electronics from Vellore Institute of Technology (2024), an M.E in VLSI Design from Anna University (2013), and a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication from SRM Institute of Science and Technology (2008). Before Joiningasan Assistant Professor at the Department of Electronics and Communicationin Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Chennai in September 2021, Damu worked as an Assistant Professor (Jr) at Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai Campus. Earlier he had worked as a Project Associate in a DRDO projectunder Dr. V.Kamakoti in RISE Lab at IIT Madras, Chennai.

Damu’s work focuses on studying the carrier dynamics of charge carriers in different semiconducting materials and thereby exploring the possibilities of modeling high-performance and longer retention memory devices. In collaboration with Dr.Kaustab Ghosh (his PhD supervisor), Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai, he and his team (Ms. Greeshma &Mr.Pranav) are exploring the electronic properties and electrical characteristics of graphenenanoribbons. Along with Dr.Sarathchandran, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Chennai, he and his team (Mr. Sai Pavan & Mr. Tharunkarthik) are involved in developing a graphene-silver hybrid nanocomposite sensor for detecting bio-contaminants in wastewater along with a few other exciting research works.
