Biography
Dr. Omprakash S.S. is a Researcher at Prayoga, specializing in the synthesis of nanomaterials for thin film coatings in both electronic device applications, such as thin film transistors (TFTs), sensors, memristors, supercapacitors, and batteries, and non-electronic applications like anti-reflection, anti-corrosion, and hydrophobic coatings. He earned a B.Sc. from Vijaya College in 2007 and an M.Sc. from Bangalore University in 2010 before working as a Junior Research Fellow at R.V. College of Engineering, optimizing amorphous silicon solar cells. He completed his Ph.D. in 2020 at Mangalore University, focusing on fabricating amorphous metal oxides thin film transistors using custom-designed spin spray pyrolysis units. From January 2015 to October 2020, Dr. Omprakash was a full-time research scholar at Mangalore University, where he designed and developed spin spray pyrolysis instruments and optimized metal oxide thin films for various applications, including thin film transistors on glass and Teflon substrates. His research has significantly advanced non-volatile memory devices and energy-efficient materials.
