He received the ACS Nano Best Poster Award (2024), the Outstanding Research Achievement Grand Prize at SKKU (2023), and multiple national fellowships in India. His current research focuses on achieving room-temperature polariton condensation and electrically controlled polariton devices.

  Seminar Details

Abstract

Light and matter can merge into a single quantum object — the exciton-polariton. In this talk, Dr. Mondal will show how atomically thin materials (such as MoS₂) placed inside optical microcavities can host polariton condensation, including at room temperature — a key step toward future quantum devices, polariton lasers, and ultra-efficient optoelectronics.

 Key Topics

• Low ohmic contact resistance in 2D transistors

• Electrical control of polariton states using graphene gates

• Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) regime in polaritons

• Residue-free transfer techniques for record-high device performance
