Evan LernerDeep Jariwala Wins Nanomaterials Young Investigator Award
The journal Nanomaterials has named Deep Jariwala, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, the winner of its annual Young Investigator awards.
Jariwala, who is one of the 30 new faculty members who have joined Engineering in the past two years, is an expert in nano- and atomic-scale devices that could have applications in information technology and renewable energy, among other fields.
Selected by the journal’s editorial board, Nanomaterials described Jariwala’s award-winning accomplishments in an announcement:
Dr. Jariwala’s impressive work combines novel nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes and 2D transition metal dichalcogenides, into heterostructures and electronic and optoelectronic devices. His work encompasses synthesis of nanomaterials, characterization of their electronic and optical properties, and then fabrication of them into devices, such as diodes, FETs, and photodetectors.
