Printed Electronics Technology: Risk Mitigation to Enable a New Manufacturing Paradigm

Dr. Shenoy is a program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) since 2005. He joined DARPA from the Naval Research Lab (NRL) in Washington, DC. Dr. Shenoy's interests are in exploiting novel concepts based on new materials, processes, and device architectures for revolutionary electronic and photonic microsystems. At DARPA, he developed and is managing programs in the following areas: Standoff detection of explosives (RIEDAR), Devices based on non-linear optical (NLO) materials for RF photonics and sensor protection (MORPH), Curved focal plane array for wide field of view sensing in the VIS-NIR-SWIR bands (HARDI), Spin based memory (STT-RAM), and an E-Field Detector (E-FED). He is currently working on a new program to develop Non-Volatile Logic devices.

DARPA is the research and development office for the US Department of Defense. DARPA funds unique and innovative research through the private sector, academic and other non-profit organizations as well as government labs.

DARPA research runs the gamut from conducting scientific investigations in a laboratory, to building full-scale prototypes of military systems. We fund research in biology, medicine, computer science, chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics, material sciences, social sciences, neuroscience, and more.
