Background
Dr. Tripathi has joined CMUXE -Purdue as a research scientist in February 2023. Before this he was postdoctoral research associate and senior research associate at CMUXE- Purdue (2013 - 2019). At CMUXE, he is leading surface science nanostructure (SUSNAG) and laser materials interaction (LMIG) groups. Dr. Tripathi’s research expertise is quite wide that covers several research areas such as nuclear fusion, surface science, materials science, plasma facing components (PFCs), ion irradiation induced materials modifications, laser materials interaction, thin film and multilayer growth and characterizations, nanomagnetism, spintronics, and 2D materials.
He has expertise in (low (30 eV - 150 keV), intermediate (1 - 2 MeV), and swift (~100 MeV) energy ion material interactions (implantation, sputtering, synthesis, modification, and nanomanufacturing); in-situ time resolved epitaxial growth (e- beam evaporation + thermal annealing (≤ 1500K) + variable temperature (25-1500 K) STM + LEED + RHEED + AES); in-situ thin film and multilayer growth (e-beam evaporation + ion beam irradiation (LN2 -1473K) + LEISS +XPS+AES+UPS); testing performance of plasma facing materials in near ideal nuclear fusion environment at laboratory scale (simultaneous loading of dual ion beam irradiation, transient heat (≤1.5 GW m-2), and steady-state heat (≤ 4 MJ m-2); erosion and mitigation studies of PFMs in near ideal nuclear fusion environment.
Dr. Tripathi has authored and co-authored over 69+ high impact publications (52+ international research journal publications, one book, 16+ scientific volume/conference proceedings), delivered 27+ talks (7 invited), and 39+ posters. He is frequent reviewer for 35+ international journals (APS, AIP, Elsevier, IOP, Nature Scientific, ACS journals) and reviewed over 177+ journal articles (among 32+ journals).
Before joining Purdue, Dr. Tripathi was Assistant Professor (Physics & Nanotech), SRM-IST, Kattankulathur, India (Dec. 2020 - Jan. 2023), postdoctoral fellow at Tel Aviv University, Israel (2009- 2013) and Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar, India (2007 - 2008). Additionally, he was a visiting scientist at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany (2008).
