He has received the 2006 Vikram Sarabhai Award
for research and a 2007 IBM Faculty Award for research and
teaching. He has acted as a consultant to industries for developing
manufacturing processes for semiconductor devices.
His contributions in the field of education include three
widely viewed online video
courses on Solid State Devices, Semiconductor Device Modeling and Introduction to Research (see links below). The latter is a
lecture-cum-activity oriented course to foster research skills among
research scholars. He initiated this as a compulsory course for all
research scholars in IITM and has conducted over 30 workshops country-wide.
He has also conducted solely or jointly over 80 Faculty Development sessions on various aspects of
“How teachers can make a difference” in institutions including
