Saket S. Phadkule
Ph.D. Scholar,
Department of Mechanical Engineering,
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur, India.
I'm a PhD candidate affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Jodhpur. I am working under the supervision of Dr. Shrutidhara Sarma, Assistant Professor and PI of the Flexible Sensors from Nanocomposites (FERN) Laboratory, Mechanical Engineering, IIT Jodhpur. I have been awarded the prestigious Commonwealth Split-Site PhD Scholarship, which will enable me to embark on a fully-funded year of research studies in the field of Smart Bandages at the prestigious University of Surrey, UK.
​
I have been constantly working on the development of highly conductive electrospun fibres based on novel nanocomposites for flexible temperature sensor applications. I have successfully created prototypes of high-performance flexible temperature sensors using hybrid nanocomposite materials which has resulted in the publication of several papers in renowned journals.
At present, I am engaged in the statistical analysis of skin temperature measurement in a population using an in-house-fabricated flexible sensor array.
