Jena received the B. Tech. degree with a major in Electrical Engineering and a
minor in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur in 1998,
and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University
of California,
Santa Barbara (UCSB) in 2003. He joined
the faculty of the department of Electrical Engineering at the University of
Notre Dame in 2003. His research and
teaching interests are in the MBE growth and device applications of quantum
semiconductor heterostructures (currently III-V
nitride semiconductors), investigation of charge transport in nanostructured
semiconducting materials such as graphene, nanowires
and nanocrystals, and their device applications, and
in the theory of charge, heat, and spin transport in nanomaterials. He is the author on several journal
publications, including articles in Science, Physical Review Letters, and
Electron Device Letters among others. He has received two best student
paper awards in 2000 and 2002 for his Ph.D. dissertation research, the NSF
CAREER award in 2007, the Joyce award for excellence in undergraduate teaching
in 2010, the ISCS Young Scientist and an IBM Faculty award in 2012.
