Goutam Koley serves as the Samuel R. Rhodes Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson University's College of Engineering and Computing. He leads the Nanoscale Electronics and Sensors Laboratory (NESL) and is affiliated with the Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies (COMSET). Previously, he was an Associate Professor at the University of South Carolina from 2009-2014, where he served as Graduate Director for three years.
Dr. Koley received his B.Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 1998, M.S. from the University of Massachusetts Lowell in 1999, and Ph.D. from Cornell University in 2003. He has maintained active research collaborations with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Alberta.
His research focuses on micro and nanoscale materials for electronic, optical, and sensing applications, with emphasis on graphene and other 2D materials, MEMS/NEMS sensors, and chemical/biological detection systems. Current projects include synthesis of 2D materials using chemical vapor deposition, investigation of graphene heterojunctions for nanoelectronics, and development of novel MEMS/NEMS sensors based on micro/nanocantilevers.
His publication record shows consistent output across multiple domains, with recent work emphasizing flexible piezoelectric sensors, infrared modulation using phase-change materials, and advanced characterization of wide bandgap semiconductors. The research demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between materials science, electrical engineering, and sensor technology.
