Ph.D degree in 1982 from the Mysore University
AREA OF RESEARCH
 Electronic Instrumentation, Analytical Instrumentation, Embedded systems and
Development of a high pressure DTA and its applications, cry cooler based
Cryosorption Pumps, conducting polymers and OLEDs.
 Completed many R & D and consultancy projects funded by DRDO, ISRO, DST,
UGC and CSIR.
R and D PROJECTS
Has developed indigenously many Instruments which have potential applications in space
programme, fusion applications and defense research. A few of the development works are
listed here.
 A novel high pressure Differential Thermal Analyzer (DTA) has been developed.
This is an analytical instrument developed indigenously as commercial ones are very
expensive. Developed instrument is used at very high pressures and temperatures.
This has been extensively used in the phase transition studies of chalocogenic
materials.
 Organic Light Emitting Diodse (OLEDs) have potential applications in saving the
power consumption. Fabrication of Organic Light Emitting Diodes using polymeric
anode has been done. Also design and developed Electrochromic conducting
polymers for smart pixel display applications.
 Developed a cryocooler based high efficiency cryosorption pump whose pumping

speeds are higher at least by a factor of 1.5 compared to the commercial pumps in
specific pressure ranges. This uses a material of high adsorbing capacity along with an
adhesive of high thermal conductivity. The developed pump will be quite useful for
fusion applications.
 Design and fabrication of flexible cryogenic transfer lines to transfer Liquid Helium
and Liquid Nitrogen to end applications has been successfully done. This
development work is very useful for fusion applications.
 Magnetic sensors plays a major role in electric vehicles. Developed a monolithic thin
film magnetic sensors with a combination of Anisotropic Magneto Resistance and
Planar Hall Effect for 360 angle and Giant Magneto Resistance for turn counting.
Development of multi-turn sensor with magnetic, nano-wire are under progress. A
multinational company Honeywell is involved in this work with our group.
RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS
