Ganapathy Sambandamurthy

Ganapathy Sambandamurthy is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University at Buffalo, College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on the physical properties of low-dimensional condensed matter systems, utilizing advanced nanofabrication and low-temperature transport measurements.

• PhD in Physics, Indian Institute of Science (2000)
• Postdoctoral Research, Weizmann Institute (2001-2004), National High Magnetic Field Lab/Princeton (2004-2006)

His experimental group explores electron transport in oxide nanowires, nanotubes, and 2D semiconductors under extreme conditions like ultra-low temperatures (10 mK), high magnetic fields (16 T), and GHz-frequency AC electric fields. Key interests include metal-insulator transitions, noise spectroscopy near phase transitions, superconductor-insulator transitions, and microwave spectroscopy of collective phases in 2D materials.

His publications reveal trends in phase transitions, superconducting pairing mechanisms, and voltage-induced phenomena in nanoscale systems. His team employs techniques like Raman microprobes, XRD, SEM, and HRTEM for characterization, with recent work on tunable oscillations for neuromorphic computing.
