Dr. Polachan is a hands-on systems researcher with expertise in leading research, development, and prototyping of embedded systems including wearable devices, cyber-physical systems, and human-computer interfaces. He currently works as Assistant Professor at IIIT-Bangalore. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher in 2021-2022 in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, USA, working on ultra-low power biomedical wearable designs and human-body communication. He received Ph.D. in 2021 from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), working on tactile-CPS and time-sensitive networking and an MTech in 2014 from DESE, Indian Institute of Science in electronics design and technology. He has over 5 years of industry research experience with Cypress Semiconductors (now Infineon Technologies), developing capacitive touch sensing user-interface solutions. While in Academia and Industry, he has authored several publications in selective venues, related to internet of bodies, tactile-CPS and time-sensitive networking, and internal conferences, application notes, articles, whitepaper and code examples related to capacitive touch sensing technologies. Towards serving the community, he has been a reviewer for several conferences, journals and Govt of India's Swadeshi Microprocessor Challenge. He has done several collaborative works in Academia and Industry, including on-body wearable prototypes with Eli Lilly and Company USA, tactile-CPS designs with a research group at TU Delft Netherlands. He currently serves as the member of the standardization committee on IoT and Digital Twin, Bureau of Indian Standards.
