Dr. Arun Kumar Singh, Associate Professor in Electronics and Communication Engineering Department and Coordinator, Semiconductor Research Centre a state-of art research facility for Semiconductor research at Punjab Engineering College has received “Top-cited paper award 2022” from Institute of Physics (IOP) which is an international professional body and learned society for physics in the UK and Ireland. The award has been presented to Dr Arun for being in the top 1% of the most-cited research article published by IOP to recognise his strong research capabilities in the area of development of Photodetectors in Materials category. Recently, he has also received the Best Faculty Award 2022 from Punjab Engineering College. In this research, he has designed and developed high efficiency novel photodetectors based on new material Graphene for energy harvesting applications to convert infrared/solar radiations into electricity. The research outcome will enable development of self-charging autonomous drones/ vehicles and other portable electronic devices for medical and security imaging etc.
