Prof. Govind joined CSIR-National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi, as Scientist C in 2004 and was promoted to Scientist G in 2022. Since 2019, he has also served as a Professor at the Academy of Scientific & Innovative Research. His research has been recognised with several honours, including the Distinguished Lectureship Award and Medal from the Materials Research Society of India (MRSI), the IETE-CEOT Award, the NASI-Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award, and the DST-Young Scientist Award.
Prof. Govind is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Institute of Physics, the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers, the Electron Microscopy Society of India, and an Associate Fellow of the Asia Pacific Academy of Materials. He received the BOYSCAST Fellowship from the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, to serve as a visiting scientist at Rutgers University, USA, and the Yusuf Hamid International Exchange Fellowship from the Royal Society, UK, to serve as a visiting scientist at Cambridge University, UK. Prof. Govind has published over 430 research articles in international journals, as well as several books, book chapters, and patents.
As a Fulbright-Nehru scholar, Prof. Govind is developing a multisensory, integrated neuromorphic platform that emulates brain-inspired artificial neural networks for neuromorphic computing and environmental information processing. His work focuses on designing neuro-mimetic devices and memtransistors using 2D materials, and includes monolithic integration, stacking, and software architecture to deliver innovative tools for scientific and industrial applications.
