Mondal’s research investigates the reconfigurability of polarization in these semiconductors, which could lead to advancements in artificial visual systems, in-memory computing, and communication technologies beyond 5G.
Mondal has directed a number of ferroelectric and piezoelectric III-Nitride material projects while working under the direction of Prof. Zetian Mi at the Michigan Center for Materials Characterization and the Lurie Nanofabrication Facility. Among his accomplishments are the first demonstration of high-performance self-powered reconfigurable photodetectors and the greatest recorded piezoelectric activity in ScAlN.
Mondal has co-authored 24 journal articles, including eight as the first author, presented at six conferences, and contributed to seven U.S. patent applications. He also serves on the ECE Graduate Student Council and is a member of IEEE Eta Kappa Nu and Tau Beta Pi.
He graduated from Kalyani Government Engineering College in Kolkata, India, with a bachelor's degree, and received a graduate certificate in entrepreneurship from the University of Michigan.
