Biography
Surendra Anantharaman has his expertise in growth and optical characterization of organic dye films. With Bachelors in Physics (Anna University, India), he did his Masters in Materials Science, and M.S (By Research) from Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India. His Master’s thesis was on ‘Electrolyte Materials for Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells’. His area of research interest lies in oxides, nitrides and organic molecules focusing on energy harvesting applications. After working as an Engineer in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Taiwan he joined as Ph.D Student at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in 2015 under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Frank Nüesch and Dr. Jakob Heier. As a Ph.D student, he is working on understanding the growth of organic crystals and its methodology from the morphology and surface-molecule interactions in the Laboratory for Functional Polymers at Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) Dübendorf, Switzerland.
