Title: Miniaturized Wearable, Implantable and Self-powered Electrofluidic devices for Multidomain Sensing Applications
Abstract: Wearable and implantable sensors have relied largely on replaceable batteries or external powering mechanisms, hampering their continued use for prolong
ed durations. The proliferation of innovative materials and improvised fabrication methods has significantly increased the demand for improved and compact power sources. The lecture intends to showcase the developments towards realizing self-powered miniaturized sensing devices for a multitude of sensing applications. Electrode integration with microfluidic flow systems, which has served as the pivotal point in the introduction of these autonomous electrofluidic devices, will also be discussed. The lecture would emphasize on the successful implementation of bio-fuel cells and biosupercapacitors as means of harnessing and storing energy. The lecture will cover a wide range of applications, including applications for implantable fuel cell electrodes and band-aid sensors.
Bio: About the Speaker: Prof. Sanket Goel did his B.Sc. (Hons.) degree in physics from Delhi University; MSc (Physics) from IIT Delhi, India; PhD (Electrical and Computer Engineering) from University of Alberta, Canada in 1998, 2000, and 2006 respectively. Subsequently, he did his postdoc at Stanford University (2006-2008), and worked as a PI and Scientist with ASTAR, Singapore (2008-2011). Returning to India in 2011, he led the R&D department at the University of Petroleum & Energy Studies (UPES) (2011-2015). Since 2015, he is working with BITS Pilani, India, where currently, he is the Dean and spearheads Research and Innovation related activities. He is also a Professor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department at Hyderabad Campus, whereby he headed the Department during 2017-2020. He is the founding principal investigator of a multidisciplinary team of MEMS, Microfluidics and Nanoelectronics (MMNE). His team focusses on developing smart sensors and intelligent energy harvesters to realize turnkey and autonomous devices for diversified applications under several Indian and overseas funded projects. In this context, his team has developed several commercialisable prototypes on printed, wearable, and implantable devices, incorporating novel materials, optimized fabrication processes, smartphone based integrated and cyber-physical systems. Augmenting on various prototypes developed by his team, he has also co-founded 3 companies – Cleome Innovations, Pyrome Innovations and Sensome Innovations. Sanket has won awards, like JSPS Fellowship (2021), BITS Pilani Best Faculty Award (2021), Fulbright fellowship (2015), American Electrochemical Society’s Best students paper award (2005) and University of Alberta PhD thesis award (2005). As of December 2023, Sanket Goel has >350 publications and 32 patents to his credits, has delivered >100 invited talks and guided/guiding 45 PhD students. He has also authored 4 books on Microelectronics & Signal Processing, Miniaturized Electrochemical Devices, 3D printed smart devices and Droplet & Digital Microfluidics. Currently, he is working on writing a compendium book on lab experiments for MEMS course. He is an Associate Editor of several journals like IEEE Sensors Journal, IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience, Applied Nanoscience, Journal of Nanobiotechnology, Microsystem Technologies, Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering, and IEEE Access. He is also a Visiting Professor with UiT, The Arctic University of Norway. He is a Fellow, IETE and Fellow, IEI.
