Mukherjee Jayanta T

Jayanta Mukherjee was born in India, in 1978, where he received the B.Sc. (Hons.) and M.Sc. degrees in physics, and the M.Tech. degree in laser technology, in 2000, 2002, and 2004, respectively. He then joined the Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork (UCC), Cork, Ireland, where he received the Ph.D. degree in semiconductor laser physics, in 2009. After eight months of postdoctoral research at the Tyndall Institute, he joined the Advanced Technology Institute, University of Surrey, Surrey, U.K., as a Research Fellow, working on the design and development of laser power converters from 2010 to 2014. He has also worked as an Invited Researcher at the College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA, and at the Max Born Institute, Berlin, Germany, and as an Assistant Lecturer at UCC, teaching a course on scientific computing from 2007 to 2009. He currently holds the Fraunhofer Research Fellowship at the Heinrich Hertz Institute, Berlin, working on power scaling in long-wavelength InP-based lasers. His current research interests include power and brightness scaling in semiconductor lasers, spatio-temporal dynamics in semiconductor lasers, high efficiency photovoltaics, and thermal management of photonic devices.
