SUMMARY:[Thesis Defense] : Design and Fabrication of Nanofluidic Devices via Semiconductor Techniques for Single-Molecule Sensing and Computing
DESCRIPTION:Thesis Title : "Design and Fabrication of Nanofluidic Devices via Semiconductor Techniques for \nSingle-Molecule Sensing and Computing"\nName of the Student   : Mr. Muhammad Sajeer P\nDegree Registered : Joint Ph.D. Engineering with University of Manchester\, UK\nAdvisor : Prof. Manoj Varma (IISc)\, Dr. Ashok Keerthi (UoM)\, Prof. Radha Boya (UoM)\n\nDate : 19th June 2026\, (Friday)\nTime : 4:00 PM\nVenue : CeNSE Seminar Hall (Hybrid)\n\nAbstract\n\nNano- and angstrom-scale fluidic devices\, including nanopores (0D)\, nanotubes (1D)\, and nano-slits (2D)\, \nare pushing the fundamental limits of single-molecule sensing. These confinement regimes allow for the \nprecise investigation of ionic transport\, enabling applications that range from next-generation sequencing \nto novel computational applications. While biological alternatives of these devices have received significant \nattention and widely used for next generation sequencing applications\, their solid-state counterparts had limited growth. \nThere have been several practical and technical challenges hindering these including lack of scalability \nand limitations of ionic current based sensing technique itself. This thesis addresses several of these \nchallenges through a four-phase framework: Building\, Improving\, Applying\, and Reflecting.\n\nPhase 1 (Building) establishes a robust and optimized protocol for solid-state nanopore fabrication \nand characterization. By standardizing fabrication workflows\, this work lowers the barrier to entry \nfor nanopore research and enables reliable in-house device development.\n\nPhase 2 (Improving) focuses on active control and advanced readout. On the device side\, we demonstrate \nsolid-state nanopores integrated with microheaters to achieve thermal modulation of ionic conductance. \nOn the measurement side\, we introduce "nanopore electrometry\," a self-referenced readout technique. \nThis method presents a robust alternative to traditional ionic current sensing and is validated through \nthe discrimination of amino acids using Molecular Dynamics and Multiphysics simulations.\n\nPhase 3 (Applying) transitions to 2D material-based nanofluid devices such as nano-slits and nanochannels. \nWe establish ultramicrotomy as a scalable\, high-throughput technique for fabricating MoS2 nano-slits \ntowards single-molecule DNA topology studies. Furthermore\, we utilize van der Waals (vdW) assembled hBN-MoS2 \nnanochannels to explore biomimetic protein dynamics and demonstrate their potential for computational applications.\nPhase 4 (Reflecting) situates these technological advances within a broader societal context by examining \nthe ethical\, legal\, and societal implications (ELSI) of nanopore sequencing technologies. This analysis \nhighlights the need for inclusive governance\, ethical foresight\, and responsible innovation as these \ntechnologies transition from laboratory research to widespread public use.\n\nTogether\, this work advances the scalability\, functionality\, and societal awareness of solid-state \nnanofluidic technologies\, contributing to their maturation as platforms for both fundamental research \nand real-world applications.
