Srinivas Tadigadapa
Professor and Chair, Electrical and Computer Engineering
Starting in January 2018, Professor Srinivas Tadigadapa assumed the role of Chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. Formerly a Professor of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University, his field of expertise includes physics and microelectronics; research includes integrated heterogeneous materials-based microsystems, bio and chemical sensors, and exploring electric and thermal transport at the micro-nano interfaces
Research Focus
Sensor Devices and Smart Sensor Systems realized through interdisciplinary field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS); including the design, optimization, fabrication, testing, and networking of such transducers; fabrication of novel micro and nano-sensors and actuators by integrating non-traditional materials using silicon planar microfabrication techniques and exploring phenomenon at the micro-nano interfaces; development of sustainable sensing solutions for biomedical applications including investigation of robust magnetic technologies for interfacing to the brain
