Rate My Professor Sudha Mokkapati

Mokkapati's research interests center on semiconductor nano-photonics, nano-lasers, and nanostructured solar cells, with expertise spanning lasers, solar cells, nanomaterials, nanostructured materials, photonics, semiconductors, optoelectronics, and III-V semiconductors. Her work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals including good health and well-being and affordable and clean energy. She has led projects such as rapid point-of-care tests for concussion management, all-electronic platforms for real-time stand-off detection of toxic gases, and low-cost wireless sensors for chemical hazards. Key publications include "An optical study on the enhanced light trapping performance of the perovskite solar cell using nanocone structure" (Scientific Reports, 2024), "Bisphenol A detection using molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) field-effect transistor functionalized with DNA aptamers" (Advanced Materials Technologies, 2023), "Intelligent Single-chip Si-FET based E-Nose using Metal and Oxides Functionalization" (IEEE NMDC, 2025), and "Engineering Purcell factor anisotropy for dark and bright excitons in two dimensional semiconductors" (Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 2022). Mokkapati serves as Editor-in-Chief of Materials and Sustainability and is a member of the Australian Research Council College of Experts. She is affiliated with the Materials Research Society and IEEE Photonics Society, and actively supervises PhD students.
