Prof. Saluru Baba Krupanidhi is a Materials Scientist who integrates in an exemplary manner fundamental science with engineering of materials and devices. He has worked as Professor at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, for more than 22 years. At present, he is serving as Emeritus Professor at IISc. He is internationally recognized in the areas of integrated ferroelectrics and compound semiconductor technology as evidenced by invited lectures at international meetings and memberships of editorial boards. Professor Krupanidhis research is focused on developing epitaxial thin
lms of complex oxides for electro-optic, ferroelectric, and high permittivity dielectric applications and heteroepitaxial compound semiconductors for optoelectronic applications. His major contributions in the area of complex perovskites include ECR plasma-assisted development of low-temperature epitaxy, rapid thermal processing, modeling of crystallization in perovskite thin
lms under strong thermal gradients, and engineered properties in the superlattices of ferroelectric perovskil`
