Dr. Saion Sinha has considerable research expertise in the area of Nanotechnology and particularly in nanomaterials. He studied low-band gap semiconductors for his Masters and High Tc superconductors for his Ph.D dissetation. He gained significant experience in nanomaterials during his tenure as a Research Scientist at the North Carolina Center for Nanoscale Materials and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. His expertise is in synthesizing novel structures of nanoscale materials. He is pursuing research in nanomaterial synthesis at UNH and earlier at Southern Connecticut State University. He has a number of publications in reputed journals and a patent in rechargeable batteries. He has delivered number of lectures in the technical and business aspects of nanotechnology in the U.S. and abroad.
