About Dr. Srinivasan
Karthik Srinivasan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boise State University. Dr. Srinivasan leads the Applied Magnetics and Photonics (AMPS) Laboratory at Boise State, where his group develops new magnetic and photonic materials and devices for photonic computing, millimeter/terahertz wave devices, and extreme-environment sensing.
Prior to this, he was a postdoctoral associate in the Versatile Electronics Systems Laboratory at Cornell University, where he developed amorphous ferrimagnetic alloys and spin-on-magnetics for tunable microwave/millimeter-wave devices. He earned a Ph.D. (2021) and an M.S. (2019) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, where he was awarded the prestigious Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship for his thesis on photonic isolators and magnonics using rare-earth iron garnets. His Ph.D. research paved the way for both monolithic and heterogeneous integration of magneto-optical material on silicon-photonic devices and explored new garnet chemistries for applications in magnetic memories, microwave filters, and atomic clocks. He received his B.S. (2016) in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Anna University in Chennai, India.
Outside the lab, Dr. Srinivasan serves as the Chair of the IEEE Young Professionals Affinity Group for Boise Section, is a member of the steering committee for the Around-the-Clock Around-the-Globe Magnetics Conference and is a member of the board of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the American Vacuum Society. He is keen on advancing access to STEM education for underrepresented minorities and strives to support an academic ecosystem of entrepreneurship and innovation.
