Debdeep Jena's research focuses on semiconductors, nanoelectronic and photonic devices, molecular beam epitaxy, quantum mechanics of transport properties, and solid-state physics. His work explores two-dimensional semiconductors for transistors, ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors, and high-mobility thin-film transistors based on multilayer MoS2. He investigates high-detectivity phototransistors, broadband graphene terahertz modulators, and the role of metal contacts in enhancing performance of monolayer WSe2 field-effect transistors. Jena also studies exciton dynamics, polarization-induced doping, anisotropic thermal conductivity, and intrinsic electron mobility limits in materials like β-Ga2O3. His research emphasizes dielectric engineering, carrier statistics, and quantum capacitance in graphene and semiconductor nanostructures.
