Amit Banerjee joined the Advanced Device Research Division, Research Institute of Electronics, National University Corporation, Japan, as a scientific researcher in 2016 and was also part of the Innovative Photonics Evolution Research Center (iPERC) at Hamamatsu, Japan. He later joined the prestigious National University of Singapore as a scientist in 2017. Currently Amit is member of more than 30 international advisory boards and technical program committees in various countries. He has co-authored several scientific papers, edited books, presented papers at several international conferences as plenary and keynote speaker, and received awards, including the Young Physicist Award and honorary life-membership from the Indian Physical Society He is keenly engaged in consulting futuristic technologies for business firms, educational ventures, and universities. Amit received a PhD in semiconductor technology from the Energy Research Unit, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (D.S.T., Govt. of India), and has worked extensively on the design and development of high-vacuum plasma CVD reactors, which are used in industrial manufacturing of solar cells, coatings, and TFTs. He also developed low-cost high-vacuum MW-PECVD units, and conceived the process for cost-effective commercial-grade antireflection coating (ARC) synthesis for solar cells by nanocrytalline diamonds. His current work is on terahertz technology, including THz sensors and sources, design, and fabrication, aiming at biomedical imaging applications. His recent work on antenna-coupled microbolometer arrays is compatible with state-of-the-art medium-scale semiconductor device fabrication processes, and technologically competitive with commercial viability as on-chip integrable detector arrays for terahertz imaging.
