Prof. Dutta's broad research interests include work on the self-organization of nanoparticles, construction of niche devices, nanoparticles and its applications in electronics and biology. Dr. Dutta has written three text books entitled “Introduction to Nanoscience” and “Fundamentals of Nanotechnology” and “Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology” (CRC Press of Taylor and Francis Group LLC) , has over 200 research publications, 7 chapters in Science & Technology reference books, 3 patents (5 ongoing applications) and has delivered more than 60 invited and keynote lectures.

The research concept is to make use of inexpensive wet-chemical methods to fabricate innovative materials and device components. The use of nanoparticles as building blocks for new materials (eg. nanowires) and for futuristic devices may provide a new route to overcome these barriers and to build highly integrated, three-dimensional electronic circuits. Other interest to self-assemble functional materials and devices include microbial objects as templates for fabricating novel materials and application in specific devices. We have demonstrated the possibility of fabricating microwires by using these templates. On one side we try to synthesize gold, II-VI semiconductors nanoparticles, while on the other hand these nano-particles and nanowires has been applied in gas sensors, pressure sensors, displays and electrochromic devices. We have also begun working in developing simple bio-sensors, where we mix colloidal particles into bio-fictionalization and bio-activation for new device applications.

Education

M.Sc., Physics, 1985, North Eastern Hill University, India; Ph. D., Physics, 1990, Calcutta University, India

Career Highlights

He completed his Ph.D in 1990 from the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, India (Calcutta University). In 1991 and 1992 he did Post Doctoral work at the Electrotechnical Laboratory (ETL, Japan) and at Ecole Polytechnique (France) before moving to Switzerland in 1993 where he was associated with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland until 2003.

From 1997-2001 he worked in technical and managerial qualities in high technology industries in Switzerland before returning back to academia in 2002.
