Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research - An Autonomous Institution

15 Years of the Quantum Dot Lab, JNCASR

The Quantum Dot Lab proudly celebrates 15 years of scientific exploration, innovation, and academic excellence.

Founded with a vision to understand and engineer matter at the nanoscale, the lab has evolved into a dynamic research hub advancing both fundamental and applied science of semiconductor nanomaterials. Our work spans quantum confinement physics, doped and alloyed nanocrystals, magneto-optical phenomena, and optoelectronic energy transfer contributing to foundational insights as well as emerging technologies.

At the heart of the Quantum Dot Lab is a strong culture of scientific rigor, creativity, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Over the years, the lab has trained a diverse community of students and researchers in advanced synthesis, spectroscopy, and theoretical analysis. Many of our alumni now contribute to leading academic institutions, research laboratories, and industries worldwide.

As part of the 15-year celebrations, we were delighted to host an online alumni meet, bringing together former and current members of the lab from across the globe to reconnect, share experiences, and reflect on a shared journey of discovery.

To commemorate this milestone, we have also launched a special YouTube video capturing memories, milestones, and voices from the Quantum Dot Lab community. Watch the 15-Year Anniversary Video: https://youtu.be/-la26JmRI-c?si=lbYnr7yxOjMLeJbf

As we reflect on the past 15 years, we look ahead with optimism and ambition. The challenges of the future from quantum materials to next-generation optoelectronics, call for the same spirit that has defined our journey: thoughtful inquiry, collaborative effort, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our students, alumni, collaborators, mentors, and institutional supporters whose contributions form the foundation of the lab’s enduring legacy.

Here’s to 15 years of discovery and to the many breakthroughs yet to come.
