Prof. Saluru Baba Krupanidhi is a materials scientist who integrates in an exemplary manner fundamental science with engineering of materials and devices. He has worked as Professor at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore for more than 22 years. At present he is serving as Emeritus Professor at IISc. He is internationally recognized in the areas of integrated ferroelectrics and compound semiconductor technology as evidenced by invited lectures at international meetings and memberships of editorial boards. Professor Krupanidhi's research is focused on developing expitaxial thin films of complex oxides for electro-optic, ferroelectric, and high permittivity dielectric applications and hetero epitaxial compound semiconductors for opto-electronic applications. His major contributions in the area of complex perovskites include ECR plasma assisted development of low temperature epitaxy, rapid thermal processing, modeling of crystallization in perovskitethin films under strong thermal gradients, and engineered properties in the superlattices of ferroelectric peroksites. Professor S B Krupanidhi has been honored with many awards and positions like 2 Engineering Invention Awards at Motorola, USA (1986), MRSI Medal, India (1997), Fellow of Indian Academy of Sciences (2003), VASVIK Medal (2004), MRSI Superconductivity-Materials Science Award (2004), Tatachem Chair Professor, Indian Institute of Science (2006), Rustum Choksi medal for research excellence, IISc (2006) J.C. Bose Fellow, DST (2009-2019), Prof. CNR Rao Lecture Prize, MRSI (2010), Fellow of Indian National Science Academy (2012), Fellow of Indian National Academy of Engineering (2012) D.S. Kothari Research Professor (2016-2020), INSA Senior Scientist (Indian Institute of Science) (2018-2021) and MRSI Distinguished Materials Scientist Of The Year Award (2019).
