Srabanti\u00a0<\/strong>received her B. Tech in Radiophysics and Electronics from Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics, India and her M.S and PhD in Electrical Engineering from University of California, Santa Barbara.<\/p>\n

After finishing her undergraduate studies in India, Srabanti briefly spent\u00a0a year\u00a0and a half,\u00a0exploring the corporate world working in Bangalore,\u00a0after\u00a0which\u00a0she decided to pursue doctoral studies in Electrical engineering.\u00a0\u00a0She joined Prof. Umesh Mishra\u2019s group at UC Santa Barbara where she completed her MS (Jun\u201908) and PhD (Dec\u201910) in Electrical and Computer Engineering. In her PhD. work, she developed GaN-based vertical devices for power conversion and demonstrated the first vertical GaN power device (CAVET) on single crystalline Gallium Nitride material with then-record (highest) breakdown electric field. After her PhD she joined Transphorm, a California-based company to develop and commercialize GaN based devices for power electronics application.\u00a0After a couple of\u00a0fruitful\u00a0years at Transphorm, she decided to go \u201cback to school\u2019 , this time as a faculty\u00a0member. She joined\u00a0the school of Electrical Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University in March\u201913. She picked up the momentum and continued her work developing solutions for next generation electronics. Her group consists of 8 graduate\u00a0students and 3 post doctoral\u00a0researchers. With a dozen of bright minds exploring wide\u00a0bandgap device technologies, Srabanti continues to build build solutions in her Wide\u00a0badgap\u00a0Lab.\u00a0\u00a0Besides Gallium Nitride, her research group also focuses on Diamond and Gallium Oxide materials for power and other emerging electronics. In addition to the DARPA Young Faculty Award, she has received the NSF CAREER and AFOSR Young Investigator Program (YIP) in 2015 to continue her research.\u00a0She has authored and coauthored over 15 journal publications and presented in over 20 conferences. She has over 14 patents (combining issued and filed) on Gallium Nitride and diamond based devices and technologies.<\/p>\n

Srabanti received the Young Scientist award at the International Symposium on Compound Semiconductor in 2016<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
