Baishakhi received her B.S Hons. degree in Physics from University of Calcutta and her M.S degree in Physics from University of Pune, India. She received her PhD in Physics and Material Science from University of Rouen, France.
After finishing her M.S in India, Baishakhi carried out her research at the National Chemical Laboratory, India in nanoscience and microscopy. Subsequently, she pursued her doctoral studies with Prof. Bernard Deconihout’s group at University of Rouen, France where she completed her PhD (Dec’10). In her PhD. work, she has used atom probe tomography to study laser matter interaction of semiconductor.
Understanding the underlying phenomenon using femtosecond laser she studied the field evaporation of semiconductor and oxides. Her work was one of the first that explored laser interactions with high insulating materials and her thesis is recognized widely in the atom probe community. She has also studied various application in microelectronics and spintronics.
After her PhD she joined Prof. James Speck’s group as a post doctoral fellow at University of California, Santa Barbara. There she used atom probe tomography in the development of GaN based devices. Interfaces define the characteristic of a device and APT gave the right information to streamline fabrication issues and paved the path for better III-V devices. Later she joined Oak Ridge National Lab as a post doc researcher and contributed in the structural studies of Li rich ion batteries and microstructural properties of metallic alloys. She then joined Intel Corporation to work in the technology group and her contributions in understanding future semiconductor technology helped Intel immensely. After a successful year she decided to go “back to school’ , this time as a faculty member. She joined the School of engineering and academic sciences, Materials Design and Innovation - University at Buffalo as a faculty member.
Her research interests include
​
a. Atom probe technology development
b. Energy storage technologies
c. III-V device technology
d. Efficiency improvement of process by interface studies and
e. Solar energy.
