Background
Dr. Tripathi has joined CMUXE -Purdue as a research scientist in 2023. Before this he was postdoctoral research associate and senior research associate at CMUXE- Purdue (2013 - 19).
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.
Dr. Tripathi's expertise includes (major): Nuclear Fusion Testing performance of Plasma Facing Materials (PFMs) in near ideal Nuclear Fusion environment at laboratory scale (in-situ simultaneous loading of dual ion beam irradiation, transient heat (upto 1.5 GW m-2), and steady state heat (upto 4 MJ m-2)) Erosion and mitigation studies of PFMs in near ideal Nuclear Fusion environment In-situ thin film and multilayer growth (e-beam evaporation + ion beam irradiation (LN2 -1473K) + LEISS + XPS + AES + UPS) 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 and Characterization (e- beam evaporation + thermal annealing ( upto 1500K) + variable temperature (25-1500 K) STM + LEED + RHEED + AES) In-situ VTSTM (25-1500 K), STS, LEED, RHEED, XPS, AES, UPS, LEISS Spintronics, Nanomagnetism, Magnetoresistance and Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) 2D materails and Functional Nanostructure and Nanoscience
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 37+ international journals (APS, AIP, Elsevier, IOP, Nature Scientific, ACS journals) and reviewed over 180+ journal articles.
Before joining Purdue, Dr. Tripathi was
Assistant Professor (Physics & Nanotech) SRM-IST, Kattankulathur, India (2020 - 23).
Dr. Tripathi served as postdoctoral fellow at
Tel Aviv University, Israel (2009 - 13)
Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar, India (2007 - 08)
and was as visiting scientist at
Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany (2008).
