Biography:
Abhishek Kumar completed his PhD at CSIR–National Physical Laboratory, India, in the field of superconductivity. During PhD, his research work focused on the fabrication of superconducting tungsten devices, including films, nanowires, and junctions, which exhibited several novel phenomena such as quantum and thermally activated phase slips, proximity effects with multiple Andreev reflections, and laser light-dependent photoresponse features. These properties make them promising candidates for applications in quantum metrology, superconducting and quantum devices, SNSPDs, and optoelectronic devices. Currently, he is working as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Salerno, Italy. His present research interests include exploring tungsten–rhenium and niobium–rhenium films for SSPDs, as well as applications in spintronics, superconducting, and quantum devices.
