The MEMS, Embedded Electronics and Energy Systems (MEMSENS) Lab at the Centre for Interdisciplinary and Converegent Technologies (CIDCT) (formerly known as Advanced Technology Development Centre (ATDC)), IIT Kharagpur is a multidisciplinary research group dedicated to advancing next-generation sensing, embedded intelligence, and sustainable technological solutions. Our work lies at the intersection of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), electronics, energy harvesting, and intelligent systems, with a strong emphasis on translating fundamental research into real-world applications. At MEMSENS Lab, we focus on the design, fabrication, and interfacing of MEMS devices, alongside the development of robust embedded systems and energy-efficient solutions. Our research spans a diverse range of domains, including renewable energy harvesting and power management, self-powered autonomous systems, and integrated navigation solutions using GNSS, IMU, and LiDAR for automotive and UAV applications. We also actively explore AI/ML-driven structural health monitoring, smart instrumentation, and IoT-based systems for precision agriculture, biomedical applications, and Industry 4.0.

The lab fosters a collaborative and innovation-driven environment where researchers work across disciplines to solve complex engineering challenges. Equipped with modern design, simulation, and prototyping facilities, MEMSENS enables rapid development—from concept to implementation. Students and researchers benefit from hands-on experience in circuit design, embedded programming, sensor integration, and system-level development.

Our work culture emphasizes curiosity, practical problem-solving, and impactful research. We encourage independent thinking while promoting teamwork and knowledge sharing, preparing students and researchers to contribute meaningfully to academia, industry, and society.
