Bio: Mitradip Bhattacharjee (Senior Member, IEEE) is an Assistant Professor with the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal, India, where he is leading the i-Lab Research Group. He obtained B.Tech. degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from National Institute of Technology (NIT) Agartala and the Ph.D. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, India. Subsequently, he joined the University of Glasgow, U.K., as a Postdoctoral Fellow. His research interests include electronic sensors and systems, biomedical engineering, bioelectronics, flexible/printed and wearable electronics, wireless systems, IoT, micro/nanoelectronics, and reconfigurable sensing antennas. He has authored more than 90 research articles in reputed journals/conferences and filed more than 25 national/international patents. He has also authored several book chapters/books to date. He is the recipient of several awards and honours, such as Visvesvaraya YFR Fellowship by MEITY, Govt. of India in 2025, Marie-Curie Seal of Excellence Award by the European Commission in 2019, Nanochallange Award by PSG in 2018, Gandhiyan Young Technological Innovation Award at Rashtrapati Bhavan in 2016, among others. He served as the chair of the IEEE Sensors Council's Young Professionals Committee in 2022. He is serving as a guest editor and associate editor in various journals and magazines such as IEEE Sensors Letters, IEEE Sensors Alert, IEEE JFLEX, npj Flexible Electronics, among others. He has been elected as a member-at-large of the IEEE Sensors Council for the term 2026-2027. He is also serving as the web Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Sensors Council.
Research Interest in Brief: He is presently working on different types of electronic sensors and systems, flexible and wearable electronics, electronic devices, micro/nanofabrication, bioelectronics, biosensors, biomedical engineering, soft-robotics, intelligent systems, reconfigurable sensing antenna, and healthcare devices. He is also working on microfluidic sensors, devices, and digital microfluidics. Moreover, he is also developing non-conventional energy harvesting devices, which could be the solution to the future energy crisis. His research mainly focuses on spintronics, flexible and printed electronics, photovoltaics/photoconductors, MEMS/NEMS, biomedical devices and bioelectronics, wireless sensing systems, reconfigurable antennas, and computational studies in the mentioned fields. His publications and patents can be referred to for further details. More+
