Professor Venkatesh Narayanamurti is the Benjamin Peirce Professor in the Department of Physics at Harvard University, focusing on technology public policy, engineering applied sciences, and physics. His current research is directed mainly at understanding electron-hole transport in novel semiconductor electronic materials and devices. Utilizing advanced techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM), he investigates the local transport properties at the nanometer scale. This innovative approach enables the examination of buried semiconductor interfaces and the direct monitoring of charge transport phenomena. His laboratory is equipped with four BEEM/STM devices, which have been employed to address a diverse set of problems, including the imaging of single InAs/InP self-assembled quantum dots. Through his research, he has made significant contributions to the understanding of resonant tunneling effects in zero-dimensional quantum states as well as the transport properties in new wide bandgap semiconductors like GaN and AlGaInP. Professor Narayanamurti's work continues to push the boundaries in the field of semiconductor physics and its applications.
