Shashank Misra

Shashank Misra (smisra@sandia.gov) is a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff in the Microsystems Engineering Systems and Applications center at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM 87185-5820 USA. He earned a doctorate in physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2005, and since 2013, has been a member of the research staff at Sandia National Laboratories. His research interests revolve around using chemical vapor deposition and scanning tunneling microscopy-based lithography to fabricate atomically precise dopant devices in semiconductors. This includes the discovery of novel metastable materials based on atomic-scale modification and understanding chemistry at the atomic scale at surfaces. Application areas for the devices span sensing, quantum demonstrations, and stochastic devices for probabilistic and neuromorphic computing.
