Biography
Somnath Bhattacharyya is a Professor in the School of Physics at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa since 2012. After completing his doctoral degree from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 1997 he worked as a Researcher in the USA, Germany and England. In 2007 he established his new research group the nano-scale transport physics laboratory at the University of the Witwatersrand. His major interest is in the transport properties of carbon and major achievements include the demonstration of resonant tunnel devices based on amorphous carbon, gigahertz transport in carbon devices, n-type doping of nanocrystalline diamond and developing theoretical models for transport in disordered carbon. He has published four book chapters and over 70 papers in peer reviewed journals.
