Dr. G. Anandha Babu serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at SSN College of Engineering, Chennai, India. He completed his Ph.D. from Anna University, Chennai, in 2010. His postdoctoral research includes a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Postdoctoral Fellowship at Nagoya University, Japan (2014-2016), and a Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) International Research Experience (SIRE) Fellowship at Kumamoto University, Japan (September 2023-March 2024). He joined SSN College of Engineering in 2013 and is a recognized Research Supervisor of Anna University. Dr. Babu has received the JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2014, SERB SIRE Fellowship in 2023, and Young Scientist Research Grants from the Department of Science and Technology-SERB in 2011 and 2016. Under his guidance, five students have been awarded Ph.D. degrees, with four more currently pursuing their doctorates. He has served as Principal Investigator on sponsored projects funded by DAE-BRNS, DRDO (two projects), CSIR, DST, SERB (four projects), and UGC-DAE, and has filed patents in Japan and India. Additionally, he acts as a reviewer for numerous international journals and has received financial assistance from DST, CSIR, TNSCST, CICS, SERB, JSPS, and INSA for attending conferences.

Dr. Babu's research specializations encompass multicrystalline silicon, piezoelectric materials, topological insulators, defect engineering, semiconductor materials, energy storage materials, and crystal growth, with applications in transducers, sensors, photovoltaics, and scintillators. He has authored approximately 76 papers in peer-reviewed international journals. Notable publications include: ‘Structural, dielectric and energy storage properties of lead-free (1−x)Ba0.95La0.05TiO3‒xBi(Zn2/3Ta1/3)O3 relaxor ferroelectrics’ (Ceramics International, 2025); ‘Role of Bi2O3 and PbO excess on the Di-/ferro-/piezoelectric and bi-polar strain properties in 0.39Bi(Ni0.5Ti0.5)O3–0.20PbZrO3–0.41PbTiO3 ternary ceramics near MPB’ (Applied Physics A, 2025); ‘Investigation on Structural, Dielectric, Ferroelectric, and Piezoelectric properties of (1-x)PbTiO3–(x)Bi(Zn2/3Nb1/3)O3 solid solutions’ (Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics, 2024); ‘Growth and characterization of Dy1-xSmxMnO3 single crystals by optical floating zone technique’ (J.
