Areas Ravi Kummamuru is Knowledgeable in:

Ravi Kummamuru's Problem Solving Skills:

1. Semiconductor, nanoscale fabrication, thin films, scientific low noise measurements, thermal control systems and measurements.

Ravi Kummamuru's Problem Solving Experience:

1. - I significantly increased device yield of nano-electronic devices enabling much more complex devices to be fabricated and tested by me, and my demonstration of a single electron short-term memory device (Latch).
2. - I prepared epitaxial thin films of chromium of very high quality, which enabled my discoveries of interesting features of the chromium spin density wave antiferromagnetism through resistivity and magnetoresistance measurements.
3. - I developed techniques for extending nano-calorimetry measurements up to 850oC and to measure interfacial reaction energies for solid state thin films for the first time, in a clean experiment.
4. - I have developed a solar thermal energy technology which is a new design combined with existing systems in such a way as to achieve the high efficiency of one technology at the low cost of another.
