Harish Bhaskaran is a British-Indian engineer and currently Professor of Applied Nanomaterials at Oxford University. He is also the Associate Head (Research) for the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division at Oxford. Bhaskaran specialises in the field of nanoscale technology, including photonic or neuromorphic computing and displays.[1] He is also a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and a Chartered Engineer.
Education[edit]
He obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering from the College of Engineering Pune.[2] He then obtained a MS in Mechanical Engineering carrying out research on packaging of MEMS systems at the University of Maryland College Park.[3]
Career[edit]
After his PhD, Bhaskaran spent three years at IBM Research - Zurich[4]. There he worked on phase change materials and novel atomic force microscopy probes, inventing the PtSi probes that have since been commercialized and creating diamond-like-carbon tips for ultra-low wear.[5][6] After a brief postdoc at Yale University[4], he joined the University of Exeter as a Lecturer and then in 2013 joined the University of Oxford, where he established the Advanced Nanoscale Engineering Group. He was promoted to Professor of Applied Nanomaterials in 2016. He serves as a director of the Oxford Fab.[7] Since 2023, he serves as the Associate Head for Research of the Mathematical Physical and Life Sciences Division at the University of Oxford[8]. He was the leader of the UK's Wearable and Flexible Technologies (WAFT) consortium across Oxford, Southampton and Exeter Universities and 15 industrial partners.[9]
Research[edit]
Bhaskaran led the Oxford-based WAFT Consortium and also the research into smart windows,[10] including applications in the glazing industry.[11] The latter project was an Anglo-US project, which aims to harness the Sun's heat and use it to heat a home in the winter, but also reflect it in the summer.[12] Part of Bhaskaran's recent career is spinning out companies such as Bodle Technologies and Salience Labs from Oxford University.[13][14] Other more efficient technologies have also been developed by Bhaskaran, including producing new screen technology for devices with poor outdoor readability and high-power consumption.[15][16]
He is an inventor of the first photonic non-volatile memory,[17] the photonic tensor core,[18][19] and has worked on amplitude based weight setting as the primary approach using functional phase change materials. His work on switchable photonics as part of the computational effort was instrumental in spinning out Salience Labs.[20]
