Vijay Raghunathan is a Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, where he leads the Embedded Systems and IoT Lab. His research interests include hardware and software architectures for embedded systems, wireless sensors for the Internet of Things (IoT), and wearable and implantable electronics, with an emphasis on low power design (at the board-level as well as system-on-chip), micro-scale energy harvesting, emerging memory technologies, and reliable/secure system design.

Vijay has co-authored three book chapters, numerous journal and conference papers, and has presented several invited talks and full-day/embedded tutorials on the above topics. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER award (2010), the Edward K. Rice Outstanding Doctoral Student Award from the UCLA School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (2005), and the Outstanding Masters Student Award from the UCLA Electrical Engineering Department (2002). He received the best paper award at the ACM International Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) in 2011, the design contest award at the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED) in 2014 and 2005, the best student paper award at the IEEE International Conference on VLSI Design (VLSID) in 2000, and a best paper award nomination at the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED) in 2006. Vijay has served on the organizing and technical program committees of several leading ACM and IEEE conferences. He has served as Technical Program Co-chair for the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED), and the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN). He is currently an Associate Editor of the ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS) and the ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks (TOSN).

Vijay received the B.Tech. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles.
