Sai Krishna Narayananellore joined INL (Sep. 2019) as a Research Engineer in Spintronics Group, Dept. of Nanoelectronics Engineering, under Ricardo Ferreira’s supervision.

He completed his Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Electronics (2011) at Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, India. He received PhD (2015) from School of Advanced Sciences at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Tamil Nadu, India. Thesis title: Investigations on Cr, Fe, and Ni-doped In2O3 dilute magnetic semiconductors for room temperature ferromagnetism.

Soon after his Ph.D., he joined as a postdoctoral researcher (in the ImPACT project) in Semiconductor Spintronics Group, Spintronics Research Center at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan (in Nov 2015). Here he worked for the development of fully epitaxial magnetic tunnel junctions with novel tunnel barrier materials such as Ga2O3, LiF, and ZnO. His work mainly focuses on thin films growth and microfabrication of the epitaxial magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) by molecular beam epitaxy and conventional device microfabrication.
Later he moved to National Institute for Material Science (NIMS), Japan (in March 2018) as a postdoc researcher. Here, he worked for Heusler alloy based current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistive (CPP-GMR) devices with Co-based Heusler alloys.

Present, at INL he is focusing to develop the nanofabrication of the Magnetic tunnel junctions and Nano-Oscillators.
