Research Team

I have a vibrant and dynamic research group that include post-doctoral fellows, Ph.D. scholars and M.S scholars. I encourage team work and collaborative research, and the seniors in the group typically mentor younger researchers and provide support in research, technology development and overall integration into the team, to ensure a flexible, co-operative and productive environment in the lab. In addition, my group also works closely with engineers at Healthcare Technology Innovation Centre, IIT Madras, who support them in accelerated prototyping of our instruments, verification studies and clinical validation.  

I am always open to give opportunities to smart, energetic and enthusiastic researchers / engineers / innovators who want to be part of my research team. If you're interested in my work, do connect to me over email (jayaraj@ee.iitm.ac.in).
