Ekta Bhatia, Ph.D. Email and Phone Number

A research scientist working on quantum technology in a 300 mm wafer-scale development in a culturally diverse environment at NY CREATES. I am also an adjunct assistant professor at University at Albany State University of New work. As a research scientist, my work spans from Josephson junctions, superconducting qubits, and superconducting resonators to materials for quantum technology in 300 mm wafer-scale development. My prior research experience includes magnetic Josephson junctions, superconductor/ferromagnet multilayers, superconducting microwave resonators, and cryogenics at the NSA lab Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) at the University of Maryland, USA; the University of Cambridge, UK; and National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), HBNI, India. My research areas of interest include superconducting materials, devices, circuits, superconducting spintronics, and superconducting quantum computing.Competencies: Josephson junction, SQUID, Fluxonium Qubit, and superconducting resonator design, fabrication, circuit simulation, material growth (sputtering, ALD, CVD), material characterization (XRD, XPS, XRF, XRR, AFM, SIMS, Rs), DC and microwave frequency measurements with VNA and dilution refrigerator, cryostats, data analysis with Origin, Excel, Python, writing journal articles.Materials and Device Developed: 1. High-quality superconducting microwave resonator devices for Superconducting Quantum computation (LPS, University of Maryland, College Park, USA)2. Magnetic Josephson junction and SQUID devices for Superconducting Spintronics (University of Cambridge, UK)3. Material Growth and optimization for superconducting and ferromagnetic materials (National Institute of Science Education and Research, HBNI, India)Academic Outreach: • Acted as a reviewer for 24 articles in Advanced Materials, APL Materials, Superconductor Science and Technology, Materials for Quantum Technology, JVSTB, MST, JPCM, IJMPB, Journal of Applied Physics, IEEE TAS journals.• Serving as Homi Bhabha National Institute (HBNI) alumni ambassador and part of KUK alumni association.• Moderated quantum sessions at AVS69 International symposium and serving as co-chair for quantum mini-symposium at AVS70 International symposium, and APS March meeting 2024.• Membership chair of Women's Innovation Network at NY CREATES.Memberships: American Vacuum Society, American Physical Society, IEEE Council of Superconductivity, Institute of Physics UK, Sigma Xi
