Dr. Dhakal received a Ph.D. in electronic engineering from Kwangwoon University in 2016 and a B.Eng. in electronics and communication engineering from Pokhara University in 2007. Dr. Dhakal has more than fourteen years of teaching and research experience in computer science and electronics engineering.
Dr. Dhakal has served as a lecturer of electronics and communication engineering at Dhangadhi Engineering College at Pokhara University, a lecturer of electronics and computer engineering at Pashchimanchal College at Tribhuvan University, a postdoctoral researcher at the RFIC Center in Kwangwoon University, and a postdoctoral researcher at Soongsil University. Currently, for the past 8 years, he has been an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Sejong University. His research comprises concepts from electrical, electronics, and computer engineering with a focus on RF/microwave glucose biosensors and flexible wearable pressure sensors. His future research will focus on designing and developing reusable, affordable, and user-friendly RF/microwave-based glucose biosensors by implementing AI for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). He also plans to collaborate on developing wearable wrist devices equipped with edge intelligence for capturing human physiological signals. Additionally, he intends to analyze the specific body signal generated due to body movement and posture change to enhance real-time movement tracking.
Due to his knowledge and expertise in RF biosensors and flexible pressure sensors for biomedical applications. He has published several research articles in prestigious journals such as Nano Energy, Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Chemical Engineering Journal, Advanced Science, Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, Applied Physics Letters, etc. Dr. Dhakal has been regularly invited to conduct peer review for authoritative journals in the field, including Advanced functional materials, Chemical Engineering and Technology, Chemical Engineering Journals Sensors, Energies, Electronics, Technologies, ACS applied electronic materials, ACS applied polymer materials, Electronics Letters, IET Microwaves, Antennas & Propagation, Medical Engineering and Physics, Tsinghua Science and Technology, Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, Sensor and Actuators B: Chemical, and Wireless Personal Communications. Dr. Dhakal has completed at least 147 reviews to date. He was honored with the outstanding Ph.D. foreign student award from Kwangwoon University (2015), demonstrating the most significant promise in international scientific publications, patents, and as an outstanding presenter, and received the best paper award at several IEEE international conferences. Dr. Dhakal has served as a session chair at the National conference on Advanced Engineering and ICT-Convergence (NCAEIC) and International Conference on Advanced Engineering and ICT-Convergence (ICAEIC) on several occasions.
