Educational Details:

Mr. Baithi is pursuing his Ph.D. in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics at Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea, with a thesis titled “Quantum Phenomena in Two-Dimensional van der Waals Materials”. He began his doctoral studies in March 2020 and is expected to complete them by February 2025. He holds a Master of Science in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India (2016–2018), where his thesis focused on “Annealing Effects on Diamond and Boron-Doped Diamond Thin Films Grown by Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition (HFCVD) Method”. Prior to that, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Osmania University, India (2012–2015), majoring in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

Professional Experience

Since March 2020, Mr. Baithi has been a doctoral student at the IBS-Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics (CINAP), Department of Energy Science, Sungkyunkwan University. His research focuses on bulk growth of TMDCs, nano-device fabrication, and conducting Hall measurements at cryogenic temperatures. Prior to this, he worked as a Project Assistant at the Nanoscale Devices Laboratory, Indian Institute of Science Bengaluru (January 2019–December 2019), where he was involved in device characterization and electron transport studies in two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures. During his Master’s program at IIT Madras (June 2017–December 2018), Mr. Baithi conducted research on the annealing and characterization of diamond thin films.

Research Interest

Mr. Baithi’s research interests are focused on experimental condensed matter physics, particularly quantum phenomena in two-dimensional van der Waals materials, device fabrication, and the growth of TMDCs. He is also interested in exploring the electronic and optical properties of low-dimensional materials, transport studies at cryogenic temperatures, and developing energy-efficient quantum materials for sustainable applications.
