Prab Bandaru has been an Assistant Professor of Materials Science at U.C. San Diego since July, 2003 in the Mechanical Engineering Department. His research interests span the materials science and technology of semiconductor and magnetic materials at the mesoscopic and microscopic levels, nano-fabrication, and nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS).

Subsequent to undergraduate study at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, Prab Bandaru received his Ph.D. from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1999, with a graduate thesis in the thermodynamic phase transformation issues in magneto-optic materials. After approximately a year long stint as a process research engineer in ferroelectric materials at Applied Materials Inc., Santa Clara, he joined the Electrical Engineering department at UC, Los Angeles, in 2000, as a post-doctoral research engineer, where he worked on nano-fabrication, low temperature solid state science and Si-Ge nanophotonics.
