Professor Harish Bhaskaran FREng

Professor of Applied Nanomaterials, Department of Materials, University of Oxford

Professor Harish Bhaskaran is distinguished for his research achievements in engineering nanoscale devices including breakthrough photonic or neuromorphic computing and displays. He has won global recognition for his multidisciplinary work and leadership in successfully managing large programmes and in commercialising inventions. His research led to the commercialisation of conductive AFM tips (IBM/Nanosensors). He also co-founded Bodle Technologies, to commercialise non-emissive displays, as well as Salience Labs in the field of photonic hardware for AI.

He is a prolific inventor and pioneer in the fields of phase change photonics, NEMS and sustainable nanomanufacturing.
