Dr. Tamal Mukherjee

Biography

Tamal Mukherjee's research interests focus on design techniques and methodologies for boundary analog, RF, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and microfluidic systems. His applications include developing inertial MEMS to support GPS-challenged environments and enhancing RF communication localization through the integration of inertial MEMS. He has a recent interest in high dynamic range sensing and sensor fusion using multiple sensors or configuring multiple chips in a sensor system, typically employing various types of physics to extend the dynamic range of a single sensor. Mukherjee's work includes comprehensive design methodologies for integrated MEMS that consist of reusable lumped-parameter models to speed up design iterations and numerical algorithms that generate MEMS designs meeting specific engineering specifications. His research group is also dedicated to the design automation of microfluidics-based biochips and MEMS-enhanced reconfigurable RF circuits, focusing on enhancing the quality factors of inductors and capacitors and integrating electromechanical components for ultra-low power RF communication.
