By Prof. Hardik Jeetendra Pandya   |   IISc Bangalore
Learners enrolled: 835   |  Exam registration: 19
ABOUT THE COURSE:

This course is a system design-oriented course aimed to provide exposure on industrial applications of op-amp and its importance in the real world. In this course, different applications/case-studies (including biomedical and industrial application) are considered and will be discussing in detail about the fundamentals of the system, its operation and its importance. Since analog circuits play a crucial role in the implementation of an electronic system, this course emphasis 0n complete system design with initial discussion on circuit design. As part of this course student can build analog systems using analog ICs and study their macro models. Below are some of the course outcomes.To expose the operation of the basic building blocks of analog systemTo understand and analyze the Op-Amps. To develop the skill to build and troubleshoot Analog circuitsTo develop the skill to build complete system using analog circuits.

Instructor bio

Prof. Hardik Jeetendra Pandya

IISc Bangalore
Prof. Hardik J. Pandya is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronic Systems Engineering, Division of EECS, and Associate Faculty in the Department of Design and Manufacturing, Division of Mechanical Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Dr. Pandya heads three laboratories in ESE focused on developing a new class of biomedical devices and technologies. Before joining IISc, he worked as a postdoctoral scientist in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Maryland Robotics Center, University of Maryland, College Park (2012- 2016) and in the Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital–Harvard Medical School (2016- 2017). He obtained his Ph.D. in microengineering systems from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (2013). His lab comprises thirty-five scholars (eleven Ph.D., four postdoctoral fellows, twelve M.Tech., and eight project assistants). In the last eight years, he graduated eight Ph.D. scholars and eighteen M.Tech. Scholars, in addition to guiding three postdoctoral fellows and several research staff. Alumni from his lab have pursued roles in academia and prominent industries, joining esteemed institutions and companies like A*STAR, IMEC, IIITDM Kancheepuram, Intel, NVIDIA, MAXLINEAR, Texas Instruments, Samsung, IIT Gandhinagar, and Delft University. His current research focuses on minimally invasive and non-invasive technologies with an emphasis on but not limited to cancer diagnosis (brain, breast, head, and neck), e-nose (diabetes, breast cancer screening), cardiovascular pathology, nephrology and neuroprotective therapies for acute stroke, Parkinson’s and epilepsy. He received the prestigious Early Career Research Award from the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), Government of India 2017. Dr. Pandya received the prestigious ISSS Award 2020 under the Young Scientist Award category for the work done in India in micro and smart systems. He was also awarded the DST Abdul Kalam Technology Innovation National Fellowship 2023. His work has resulted in eleven granted patents, eighteen Indian patent applications, five international patent applications, three book chapters, and around eighty-five publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences, including journals like Nature Microsystems and Nanoengineering, IEEE TBioCAS, IEEE Sensors, Journal of Biophotonics, Journal of Biomedical Optics, and IEEE TBME. His work has been highlighted as “Breaking Research News” by The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The work on a portable cancer diagnosis tool was also featured in Science Translational Medicine as an Editorial Choice, Breast Cancer Diagnosis, March 2016, and has been highlighted on the CapeRay blog as “Biochips and Diagnostic tools” in April 2016. Dr. Pandya is a non-executive director (Technical advisor) for two Indian MedTech companies. He has recently founded Scilogic Applied Research Private Limited, a company focused on translating biomedical devices and technologies to market.
