Nithin Raghunathan PhD, BS

Nithin Raghunathan received his Ph.D in electrical engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA, in 2014. His dissertation focused on the development on micro-machined g-switches for impact applications typically in the ranges of 100 – 60,000 g’s. He worked as Post-Doctoral Research associate from 2014 to 2015 and was involved in the development of wireless radiation sensors for dosimetry applications.

He is currently a Staff Scientist at the Birck Nanotechnology Center at Purdue University. His current research focus is in the development of sensors for pharmaceutical lyophilisation and aseptic processing. His other interests include novel MEMS inertial devices, development of new microfabrication techniques, wireless and flexible sensors and Internet of things (IOT) and also sensors for industrial and harsh environments.
