Dibyaranjan Rout

Associate Professor

Dibyaranjan Rout obtained his PhD degree in Physics from IIT, Madras and subsequently joined postdoctoral position in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, KAIST, Korea. He also served as a Research Assistant Professor in the same institute for 2 years. To his credit, he has published more than 50 papers in peer reviewed journals, handled 2 Govt. funded projects (DST, NALCO) and filed 2 patents. Under his supervision, 3 PhDs and 10 master thesis are awarded. He is having collaboration with some premium institutes (IITs, RRCAT, IISc, IMMT, DIAT, BARC) in India. Dr. Rout's research interest encompasses the structure-process-property relationships exhibited by functional/smart materials particularly lead-free Piezoelectric /multiferroic / high-Tc relaxor materials. He is keen to design and develop such novel and eco-friendly materials in the form of bulk ceramics, nanoparticles, nanostructures, thick films, fibers, and nanocomposites using ease and cost-effective processes (solid state, reaction, soft chemical, spray pyrolysis, electrospinning) with adequate figures of merit suitable for industrial applications (specially actuators, MLCC, energy storage/harvesting, dye degradation).
