Faculty Profile

BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Gopi Nath Daptary earned his Master’s degree in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore in 2013 and completed his Ph.D. in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics under the supervision of Prof. Aveek Bid at IISc Bangalore in 2018. During his doctoral studies, Dr. Daptary investigated various complex oxide systems, including ferromagnetic SrRuO3, metallic CaRuO3, and the metal-insulator transition in rare earth nickelate heterostructures, with a primary focus on LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures at sub-Kelvin temperatures and high magnetic fields. His Ph.D. thesis was titled “Electronic Transport in Low-Dimensional LaAlO3/SrTiO3 Heterointerfaces.” To further explore the interplay of different quantum phases, Dr. Daptary pursued postdoctoral research (2018–2021) with Prof. Aviad Frydman at Bar-Ilan University, Israel. There, he studied single-layer graphene (SLG) and disordered superconductors (DS), focusing on SLG/DS bilayers using various graphene growth methods and investigating the insulator-to-superconductor transition in disordered systems under variable temperature, magnetic field, and magnetic orientation conditions. Subsequently, he joined Dr. Shouvik Chatterjee's group at TIFR Mumbai as a Visiting Fellow (2021–2022), where he worked on electrical transport in Kagome materials. For his final postdoctoral stint (2022–2023), Dr. Daptary moved to the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), Japan, where he worked with Prof. Yoshinori Okada to study the thermoelectric effects in spinel oxide superconductors. In April 2023, Dr. Daptary joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the National Institute of Technology Rourkela as an Assistant Professor.
