Our current research primarily focuses on the development of sensors and smart systems, and understanding and exploiting various interdisciplinary phenomena for developing novel sensing mechanisms. Application areas of interest are structural health monitoring and biosensing.
Some new areas of research initiated by us, based on our expertise in developing smart systems, include biomedical electronics for high throughput deep-learning based neural signal processing, autonomous and intelligent robotic systems for infrastructure monitoring and maintenance. We are open to new opportunities where we can leverage our expertise to collaboratively create impactful solutions to a wide variety of problems.
