Priyanka Brojabasi

Research & Development Scientist

Priyanka is a scientist at Ambature, Inc. working with the science team on multifunctional materials and device fabrication primarily based on unconventional superconductivity. She has more than 10 years of experience handling several R&D projects in the field of materials science and engineering.

Priyanka maintains a broad range of scientific research activities that include physical properties of materials, engineering artificial heterostructures composed of transition metal oxides, exploring new states of matter at interfaces, unconventional superconductivity, nanofabrication, Josephson junctions, quantum computing and qubits, magnetocaloric effects, colossal magnetoresistance, low dimensional materials (e.g., thin films, CNTs, Graphitic Nanofiber etc.); nanomaterials, nanofluids and polymers and their applications in renewable energy, hydrogen storage, solar cells, sensor development; corrosion and radiation damage studies, and ultrasonics. She has scientific publications in peer reviewed journals, as well as in conference proceedings. She has received several awards, merit certificates and scholarships from different Canadian and international organisations including NSERC, Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, Université de Sherbrooke (Bourses d’excellence de la Faculté des Sciences), and the Government of India.

Prior to her PhD in Quantum materials from Institut Quantique, Université de Sherbrooke, Canada, she held different scientific positions in several reputed universities and R&D institutes in India such as Banaras Hindu University, University of Kalyani, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), and the Centre for Astro-particle Physics & Space Science at Bose institute. She also enjoyed the rewarding experience of teaching and mentoring undergraduate students as an assistant professor of Physics in Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology in India. She is a member of the American Physical Society (APS) and the Women in Physics Committee at Université de Sherbrooke.

Apart from her scientific research on quantum materials, she enjoys data analytics, business analytics and data science, and has work experience as an IT consultant at CGI Inc. Beyond these interests, she is doing self-research in Econophysics, Quantitative Finance, and Fractal Market Analysis as well as exploring new mathematical models to understand non-linear market behavior. In her leisure time she likes to practice and teach music and art (painting). She is a regular member of the National Gallery of Canada.
