At the NRL, we are primarily focused on solving fundamental problems in computing, sensing, energy management, and communication that can usher us into a smarter and more sustainable world . Kaustav Banerjee NRL Director and Principal Investigator Research Quantum Engineered Materials Beyond Moore Devices IoT Devices and Electronics Interconnects and Passives Kaustav Banerjee Lab Director Kaustav Banerjee is one of the world’s leading innovators in the field of nanoelectronics. His pathbreaking innovations with 2D van der Waals materials and heterostructures are setting the stage for next-generation electronics. This includes the invention of the kinetic inductor that changed the course of science and engineering by overcoming a 200-year old limitation, and has been called “ a trillion dollar breakthrough ” by Forbes magazine. He is a Fellow of IEEE, APS, JSPS, and AAAS, as well as a recipient of the prestigious Bessel Prize from the Humboldt Foundation. His seminal contributions to nanoelectronics including nanoscale interconnects, 3D integration, and thermal-aware design have been widely commercialized, and recognized with an IEEE Technical Field Award - Kiyo Tomiyasu Award , one of the institute’s highest honors.
