Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ, 1990-2001
The University of Texas at Austin, PhD 1990
The University of Texas at Austin, MS 1987
Indian Institute Institute of Technology, Madras (Chennai), BS 1985

Since 1992 he has investigated various aspects of the physics and technology of organic and polymer semiconductor devices. He has published more than 200 articles in refereed journals which have resulted in a H Index of 82 (Google Scholar), and has 27 issued US patents, which have been cited more than 1300 times by other US patents. He is a co-recipient of the 2002 National award for team innovation of the American Chemical Society. Since September 2001, he is with The University of Texas at Austin and is holds a Cullen Trust Professorship in Engineering.

His present research includes organic and inorganic thin-film transistors, 2D materials device physics and device chemistry, chemical sensors, photovoltaics and thin-film circuits. In 2003, he co-founded OrganicID, a company that is investigating using printable polymer electronics to fabricate low-cost RFID tags for the 13.56 MHz frequency. He was a visiting professor at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, Singapore (2005-2013). He is the Editor-in-Chief of Flexible and Printed Electronics.
