Humboldt Research Fellow and Distinguished Alumnus Dr. Shaktiranjan Mohanty Visits Berhampur University, Delivers Inspiring Alumni Talk

 The Center of Excellence in Nano Science and Technology for Development of Sensors (CoENSTds), Department of Physics, Berhampur University, had the privilege of welcoming its distinguished alumnus Dr. Shaktiranjan Mohanty, currently a Humboldt Research Fellow and Postdoctoral Researcher at Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz.

An accomplished researcher who completed his PhD at NISER Bhubaneswar, Dr. Mohanty’s visit symbolized the global academic reach of Berhampur University and the continued success of its alumni.

During his visit, Dr. Mohanty toured the laboratories and expressed sincere appreciation for the remarkable progress and expansion of the research facilities since his time as a student. He praised the Center’s growing scientific capabilities, advanced infrastructure, and its commitment to fostering high-quality research in emerging areas of physics.

Dr. Mohanty delivered an engaging alumni talk titled “Topological Spin Textures in Thin Film Multilayers: Skyrmions to 3D Spin Textures” on January 6, 2026, at the CIC Seminar Hall . His lecture provided deep insights into next-generation spintronic materials and topological magnetic structures, opening new perspectives for scholars working in condensed matter and materials physics.

The session sparked lively academic discussions, and students greatly benefited from his reflections on international research culture, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the pursuit of scientific excellence. His journey from Berhampur University to a prestigious Humboldt Fellowship stands as a powerful inspiration for young researchers aspiring to build impactful global careers.

The Center takes immense pride in the accomplishments of its alumni and remains committed to strengthening such academic interactions that enrich the research ecosystem. Dr. Mohanty’s visit not only rekindled cherished academic ties but also reaffirmed the Center’s steady rise as a hub for advanced scientific research.
