Dr. Dinesh Kumar
He completed his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in the field of ferroelectric and magnetoelectric materials for multifunctional device applications. During his PhD, he developed a fully automated experimental setup to measure direct and converse magnetoelectric coupling in composite materials under resonance as well as off-resonance conditions. At Virginia Tech India, his research is focused on designing piezoelectric and magnetoelectric devices for variety of applications. This research includes the development of high-performance materials for different energy harvesting and structural health monitoring applications. He is also working on flexible self-powered piezo-nanogenerators for wearable device applications. Besides, he is also collaborating with other research groups to develop graphene-polymer composites for electromagnetic shielding (EMI) application.
