Dr. Sukanta Nandi received his MSc (Engg) and Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, in December 2020, under the supervision of Prof. Abha Misra. His doctoral research focused on investigating the optoelectronic properties of low-dimensional materials and developing optoelectronic devices. In February 2021, he moved to Israel to pursue postdoctoral research at Bar-Ilan University with Prof. Tomer Lewi, specializing in computational and experimental quantum and nanophotonics. His research interests include-optoelectronics, nanophotonics, single-photon emitters, and metamaterials, with a particular focus on s-SNOM (scattering-type Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy). He is currently on the editorial board of Microelectronic Engineering (Elsevier) and serves as a reviewer for several international journals, including IOP, AIP, Optica, Wiley, Elsevier, and RSC. His notable achievements include- 2024 Rising Star Award, the KVRSS Young Scientist Research Award in Physics for 2019-2020, Invited Speaker by the European Physical Society, Outstanding Reviewer Award, and being awarded with a gold medal for securing first place in M.Sc. Physics in 2014.
