Punam Murkute

Punam Murkute's research focuses on growing and characterizing semiconductor thin films, nanorods, and nanostructures—especially zinc oxide (ZnO) and related oxide materials—for applications in light sensing, gas sensing, and optoelectronic devices. Their work also extends to compound semiconductor photodetectors, including infrared detectors used for imaging and sensing in low-light or specialized wavelength ranges. The research combines materials growth techniques (like sputtering and atomic layer deposition) with post-growth treatments such as annealing to improve device performance.

Publication output peaked around 2019 and has declined substantially since, with very low or no output from 2021 to 2025 before a slight uptick in 2026.
