I am currently working as an Assistant Professor in the EECE department of IIT Dharwad. Prior to joining IIT Dharwad I was working as an Assistant Professor in BITS Pilani, Pilani campus where my teaching area mainly focussed on VLSI related subjects for undergraduate and graduate students. I have also worked as a Post Doctoral Fellow in University of California, Los Angeles before starting my academic career.

I have completed my Ph D from Indian Institute of Science where I worked on different nanostructuring methods involving e-beam lithography and colloidal lithography techniques and different material synthesis methods such as microwave synthesis for development of gas sensors. During my Post Doctoral at UCLA, I went on integrate the developed sensors on a flexible substrate using the novel method of fan out wafer level packaging.

The focus of my research work being the development of wearable devices, guiding UG students in projects involving design, simulation, and testing of data acquisition circuits for the wearable devices and signal processing of the acquired data, has helped me gain a deeper understanding of the underlying challenges. As part of this research, a Ph.D student is currently working on fabrication of wearable devices in collaboration with INUP-IISc under my guidance.
