Rate My Professor Subhadeep Datta

Dr. Subhadeep Datta serves as Associate Professor in the School of Physical Sciences at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata, a position he assumed in 2023. He previously held the role of Assistant Professor and began his tenure at IACS as Faculty Fellow in Solid State Physics in 2017. Within IACS, he contributes significantly to institutional governance, serving as a member of the Placement Cell for students, the Students' Grievance Redressal Committee, the Student Advisory Committee for the School of Chemical Sciences, the Media Cell, and as Chairperson of the Disposal Committee. He also acts as Joint In-charge for certain facilities and coordinates technical research initiatives. Dr. Datta supervises PhD students, including one whose thesis on 'Phonon and dielectric properties of layered antiferromagnet CrCl3' was recognized at the 2023 convocation. Additionally, he engages in outreach, delivering talks such as 'Use of new technology and research for better cleanliness' and chairing sessions at conferences like Recent Trends in Condensed Matter Physics (RTCMP 2026).

Dr. Datta's research centers on Condensed Matter Physics, with specializations in micro- and nanoelectronics and 2D magnetism. His scholarly work, reflected in over 830 citations on Google Scholar, includes key publications such as 'Electron-magnon coupling mediated magnetotransport in antiferromagnetic van der Waals heterostructures' (Physical Review B, 2025), 'Metamagnetism and Magnetocaloric Properties in a van der Waals Magnet' (physica status solidi b, 2023), 'Tunable Electron Transport in Defect-Engineered PdSe2' (Chemistry of Materials, 2023), 'Negative Capacitance for Stabilizing the Logic State in a Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor' (ACS Applied Nano Materials, 2023), 'Ultrahigh breakdown current density of van der Waals one-dimensional PtSe2 nanowires' (Applied Physics Letters, 2023), 'Manipulating Spin-Lattice Coupling in Layered Magnetic Semiconductors' (Advanced Functional Materials, 2024), 'Percolative instabilities and sparse-limit fractality in 1T-TaS2' (Physical Review B, 2026), 'Dimensional crossover and emergence of novel phases in quasi-two-dimensional PdS2' (Physical Review B, 2025), and 'Magnon-Phonon Coupling in Layered Antiferromagnet' (conference poster). He serves as Treasurer for events like Recent Trends in Condensed Matter Physics related to Quantum Materials (2024) and contributes to collaborative research on van der Waals heterostructures and magnetic materials.
