IEEE Student Chapter and the Department of Physics, GSSSIETW, Mysuru organized the IEEE Sensors Council’s Distinguished Lecturer Program on 19th December 2018. Dr. Ravinder Dahiya, Professor of Electronics and Nanoengineering, School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK delivered the lecture on ‘Large Area Conformable E-Skin’. The IEEE Sensors Council’s Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP) ‘promotes the field of Sensors to the engineering community by providing lecturers who are acknowledged and eminent scholars in pure and applied sensors and sensors related technical fields’.
Prof. Dahiya is the Director of Electronic Systems Design Centre and the leader of Bendable Electronics and Sensing Technologies (BEST) group at University of Glasgow that is developing flexible electronics and electronic skin for application in robotics, prosthetics and wearable systems. Prof. Dahiya is an EPSRC Fellow, Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Sensors Council and is on the Editorial Board of Scientific Reports, IEEE Sensors Journal and Proceedings of the IEEE. University of Glasgow was founded in 1451 and the School of Engineering currently has research divisions in Aerospace Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment, and Systems, Power and Energy.
In his Lecture Prof. Dahiya outlined the need for developing flexible electronics technologies for electronic skin mimicking human skin with touch sensing to be used in robotics and prosthetics. He explained the challenges in the design and fabrication of large area graphene based conformable printable electronic skin using flexible silicon substrate in order to achieve the functionalities of sense of touch, flexibility, energy generation and storage, and data storage. Finally he reported on sensors on stretchable substrates for use in medical diagnostics.
Dr. Shivakumar M, Prinicpal, GSSSIETW and Smt. Vanaja Pandit, Hon. Secretary, GSSS(R) also addressed the gathering. All the HODs, faculty members, and first semester BE students of GSSSIETW, Mysuru were present during the lecture.
Later Professor Dahiya had an interactive session with the Prinicipal and the Heads of all the Departments of GSSSIETW where the opportunity for doing PhD and postdoctoral research at University of Glasgow and possibility of collaboration in the field of robotics were discussed. Professor Dahiya also visited the Robotics Lab, Department of Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering where he was informed about the completed projects and on ongoing research work with the existing facility.

Dr Ravindra Dahiya of University of Glasgow,
Large Area Conformable e-Skin
The miniaturization led advances in microelectronics over 50 years have revolutionized our lives through fast computing and communication. Recent advances in the field are propelled by applications such as robotics, wearable systems, and healthcare etc. through More than Moore technologies. Often these applications require electronics to conform to 3D surfaces and this calls for new methods to realize devices and circuits on unconventional substrates such as plastics and paper. This lecture will present various approaches (over different time and dimension scales) for obtaining distributed electronics and sensing components on flexible and conformable substrates, especially in context with tactile or electronic skin (e-skin). These approaches range from distributed off-the-shelf electronics, integrated on flexible printed circuit boards to advanced alternatives such as e-skin by printed nanowires, graphene and ultra-thin chips, etc. The technology for such sensitive flexible (and possibly stretchable) electronic systems is also the key enabler for numerous emerging fields such as internet of things, smart cities and mobile health etc. This lecture will also discuss how the flexible electronics research may unfold in the future.
