Prabhakar Bandaru
Prabhakar Bandaru received his Ph.D. in Materials
Science at the UC, Berkeley in 1998, with a graduate
thesis on the thermodynamics of phase transformations
in magneto-optic thin films. From 1998-1999, Bandaru
gained industry experience as a process research engineer
in Applied Materials Inc.'s Capacitor Products division
where he worked extensively on Metallorganic Chemical
Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) and electrical characterization
of ferroelectric thin films, and plasma diagnostics.
Subsequently, he joined the Electrical Engineering
department at UC, Los Angeles as a post-doctoral fellow,
where he studied nano-fabrication, low temperature
solid state science for quantum computing, and Silicon-Germanium
nanophotonics
