About

Durjoy Dev is a leading researcher in the field of emerging nanoscale devices, with a primary focus on two-dimensional (2D) materials for neuromorphic computing and bio-inspired electronics. His most impactful work centers on using atomically thin materials like molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) to create artificial synapses and sensory neurons. In his highly cited 2020 paper (111 citations), Dev demonstrated an optoelectronic synapse using a monolayer MoS₂ field-effect transistor, a device capable of simultaneously sensing and processing optical data—a key step toward integrating vision and memory in autonomous systems. He also pioneered the first artificial nociceptor (84 citations) using a volatile MoS₂-based threshold switching memristor, mimicking the human pain response to harmful stimuli. This work is foundational for developing smart, self-protecting robotic systems. By bridging the gap between material physics and neural-inspired circuits, Dev’s contributions are shaping the future of low-power, intelligent hardware for artificial intelligence and edge computing.
