Nitin Samarth (original) (raw)
Nitin Samarth is an American physicist, currently the George A. and Margaret M. Downsbrough Department Head and Professor of Physics in the Eberly College of Science, Pennsylvania State University. He obtained his undergraduate degree in physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 1980 and his Ph.D. in physics from Purdue University in 1986. Samarth's research interests center on spintronic phenomena in thin films and nanostructures derived from semiconductors, magnetic materials and superconductors. He has pioneered the synthesis of a variety of materials in this context, resulting in key advances in semiconductor spintronics and, more recently, topological spintronics. Samarth's research is published in over 200 articles and has over 23,000 citations (GoogleScholar).
