BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Gopi Nath Daptary graduated with his master’s degree in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore in 2013 and obtained his Ph.D. in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics under the supervision of Prof. Aveek Bid at the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore in 2018. Dr. Daptary studied different complex oxide systems, e.g. ferromagnetic SrRuO3, metallic CaRuO3, the metal-insulator transition of rare earth nicalate heterostructure and focusing mainly on LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructure at sub kelvin temperature and a high magnetic field. The title of his Ph.D. thesis is “Electronic transport in low dimensional LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface”. To gain a better understanding of the interplay of different quantum phases, Dr. Daptary continued his research as a post-doctoral fellow (2018 – 2021) with Prof. Aviad Frydman, Bar Ilan University, Israel, in the field of single-layer graphene (SLG) and disordered superconductor (DS). He explored his research on SLG/DS bilayers using different methods of graphene growth while driving the disordered systems through the insulator to superconductor transition at variable temperatures, magnetic field, and magnetic orientation. Then, he moved to Dr. Shouvik Chatterjee's group at TIFR Mumbai as a Visiting Fellow (2021-2022) where he worked on the electrical transport in Kagome materials. For his last postdoctoral research (2022-2023), he moved to Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Japan, with Prof. Yoshinori Okada where he studied the thermoelectric effect on spinel oxide superconductors. Dr. Daptary joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the National Institute of Technology Rourkela as an Assistant Professor in April 2023.
