Stories from women in physics: ‘I want to understand how the world works’
Dr. Semonti Bhattacharyya joined the Leiden Institute of Physics in July 2022 as an Assistant Professor. In 2016, she completed her doctoral studies at the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore (India). After a short postdoc at IISc, she moved to Monash University, Melbourne (Australia) to work as a postdoc in 2017. In 2019, she was awarded a “Women in FLEET fellowship” from the ARC centre of excellence for future low energy electronics technology (FLEET).
As an experimental physicist Semonti’s research interest focuses on quantum transport measurements in quantum materials such as graphene, van der Waals heterostructures, and topological insulators. Her research group at Leiden will investigate the fabrication techniques of novel van der Waals heterostructures, and electrical transport measurements in them as a function of twist angle and pressure.
