Biography

Prof. Krishnan Balasubramaniam has been involved in the field of Non-destructive evaluation for more than 33 years with applications in the fields of maintenance, quality assurance, manufacturing and design. His areas of research interests include Nondestructive evaluation, in-process monitoring, structural health monitoring, and applied data analysis.

He is currently a Chair Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and also serves as the Head of the Centre for Nondestructive Evaluation which he founded in 2001.

He received his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Madras (Regional Engineering College, Tiruchirapalli, India) in 1984. He then graduated from Drexel University with a M.S. degree in 1986 and a Ph.D. in the year 1989. Before joining IIT Madras in 2000, he was employed as Tenured Associate Professor at Mississippi State University. He has over 400 technical publications (including 210 refereed journal papers), 16 patents filings and has directed 23 PHD student dissertations and 48 MS student theses.

In recognition for his outstanding contributions to research in the field of Nondestructive Evaluation, he was conferred with the ROY SHARPE PRIZE by the British Institute for NDT for the year 2012. He was also awarded the ISTEM Entrepreneurial Faculty Member Award for his entrepreneurial activities by Auburn University, USA in 2011 and the NATIONAL NDT AWARD 2010 by the Indian Society for NDT. He also was conferred the DRDO Academy Excellence Award for 2015. In 2018, he was bestowed with the prestigious ABDUL KALAM National Technology Innovation Fellowship by the Indian National Academy of Engineers and the Life Time Achievement Award by the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.

He has been instrumental in the incubation of several startups including Dhvani Research, Playns Technologies, Detect Technologies, Maximl Labs, Trotix Robotics, HyperVerge, and Solinas Integrity and has jointly developed several new products through these companies.

He currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal for Nondestructive Evaluation (ISNT) and as the South-east Asia Editor for the Journal of Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation (Taylor and Francis). He also serves as the Associate Editor of Ultrasonics (Elsevier) and Subject Editor for NDT&E International (Elsevier) and in the editorial board of the Journal of Structural Longevity (Techscience). He also is a board member of the World Federation of NDE Centers and the QNDE Scientific Advisor Committee.

He is a Life Fellow of the Academia NDT International, Life Fellow of the Indian Society of Nondestructive Testing (ISNT) and a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineers.

Biography

Kofi Makinwa holds degrees from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife (B.Sc., M.Sc.), Philips International Institute, Eindhoven (M.E.E.), and Delft University of Technology, Delft (Ph.D.). From 1989 to 1999, he was a research scientist at Philips Research Laboratories, where he designed sensor systems for interactive displays, and analog front-ends for optical and magnetic recording systems. In 1999 he joined Delft University of Technology, where he is currently an Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Professor of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Engineering and Head of the Microelectronics Department.

Dr. Makinwa holds 27 patents, has authored or co-authored 250+ technical papers and 10 books, and has co-edited 5 more. He is currently the Analog Subcommittee Chair of the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), the top conference in the field of IC design. He is also on the program committees of the VLSI Symposium, the European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC), and the Advances in Analog Circuit Design (AACD) workshop. He has served as a Guest Editor of the Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC) and as a Distinguished Lecturer and elected AdCom member of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society.

For his Ph.D. research, Dr. Makinwa was awarded the title of 'Simon Stevin Gezel' by the Dutch Technology Foundation (STW). He is also a co-recipient of two JSSC best paper awards, as well as 13 other best paper awards from major conferences, including the ISSCC, the VLSI Symposium and Transducers. At the 60th anniversary of ISSCC, he was recognized as one of its top ten contributing authors, as well as the second most prolific in the preceding decade. He is a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), an IEEE Fellow and a member of the editorial board of the Proceedings of the IEEE, the institution’s flagship journal.
