Himanshu Fulara

Himanshu Fulara serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. His research focuses on experimental condensed matter physics with emphasis on quantum spintronics, nanomagnetism, and energy-efficient nanodevices. He leads the department's Condensed Matter Physics Lab and holds multiple administrative roles including Professor-in-charge of the lab and Coordinator for BSMS Physics program.

His research interests span Experimental Condensed Matter Physics, Quantum Spintronics & Nanomagnetism, and Energy-efficient Nanodevices. Key specialties include Spin-Torque and Spin Hall Nano-Oscillators, Skyrmions, Micromagnetic Modelling, Brain-Inspired Computing, and Thin Films/Multilayers. His work demonstrates significant innovation in neuromorphic computing applications and voltage-controlled spintronic devices.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals strong focus on spin Hall nano-oscillators (SHNOs) for neuromorphic applications, skyrmion dynamics, and voltage-controlled magnetism. His work frequently appears in high-impact journals including Nature Materials, Nature Nanotechnology, and Science Advances, with notable contributions to memristive control of SHNO synchronization and ultra-low current nano-oscillators.

Honors and awards include:

• Max-Planck Postdoctoral Fellowship (2014)
• University of Gothenburg Postdoctoral Scholarship (2017)
• Best Project Award at IIT Delhi (2013)
• Senior Research Fellowship from CSIR-UGC (2011)

He actively supervises PhD students including Shikhar Jugran (Novel Spin-Orbit Torque Materials), Hind Prakash (Magnetic skyrmions), and Arunima TM (Nano-constriction based SHNOs). His current research is funded by SERB (INR 33.11 lakh) and SRIC, IIT Roorkee (INR 20 lakh), both as sole PI. He has delivered numerous invited talks at international conferences including APS March Meetings and INTERMAG.

Administratively, he serves on multiple committees including Departmental Purchase Committee, Institute Level Tinkering Committee, and Anti-Ragging Squads. He coordinates departmental initiatives for Tinkering & Mentoring and BSMS Physics programs.
