Dr. Antony George

Adjunct Professor

Dr. Antony George is a Materials Scientist/Nanofabrication Expert/Deep Tech Entrepreneur. Presently Scientific Staff at Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, Germany.

Currently working on establishing an Indo-German start-up company (NanoMatter) focusing on the development of applications based on ultrathin semiconducting nanosheets. Nanomatter develops large-scale substrate-agnostic metal-organic chemical vapor deposition.

(MOCVD) processes for semiconducting nanosheets targeting industries including semiconductor technology, display technology, and next-generation energy storage.
