Sanket Goel (born 31 December 1977) is an Indian professor working with the department of electrical and electronics engineering at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, Hyderabad, Telangana. He is the principal investigator of the MEMS, microfluidics and nanoelectronics (MMNE) Lab[1] and founding director of Cleome Innovations Pvt. Ltd.[2][3] As of 2025, he is listed as Dean – Research and Innovation at BITS Pilani.[4][5]

Scientific contributions

[edit]

Goel's work focuses on MEMS, microfluidics, and nanoelectronics in diverse applications like sensing, energy harvesting, and storage.[6] His most cited works include papers on sustainable fuel,[7] laser-induced graphene,[8] and biofuel cells, both enzymatic and microbial.[9] According to public records, Goel and collaborators have filed 24 patents related to microsystems and biosensing. He has edited two books, Microelectronics and Signal Processing: Advanced Concepts and Applications[10] and Miniaturized Electrochemical Devices.[11] His lab (MMNE Lab[1]) and company[3] focus on developing miniaturized smart sensors and energy harvesters for a variety of applications.

His group has also developed droplet microfluidic devices for diverse applications.[6] and his team is also working on characterizing and optimizing solar cells for underwater applications[12] and 3D printed devices for space applications.[13]

His team has started developing IoT enabled devices for soil parameter monitoring,[14] DNA amplification,[15] and Nanomaterial Synthesis applications.

From 2021, Goel's research has received coverage for its focus on biomedical devices, diagnostics, and innovation in applied engineering. One project involved the development of a 3D-printed wearable designed to monitor glucose through sweat, offering a non-invasive approach to diabetes management.[16] Another explored glucose-powered implantable devices that operate without conventional batteries, using the body’s biochemistry for power.[17] His lab has also worked on miniaturizing PCR systems to reduce diagnostic turnaround time, particularly for field settings.[18] Additional reporting has noted efforts to adapt diagnostic tools for use in space healthcare scenarios,[19] as well as the development of affordable diabetes testing kits.[20]

Honors and awards

[edit]

Goel has won several awards, honors and distinctions, including the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Invitational Fellowship (2021),[21] Fulbright Fellowship (2015)[22][23] and Dr C R Mitra Best Faculty Award by Prof V S Rao Foundation / BITS-Pilani (2021). In 2022, he has become the fellow of Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE) and Institution of Engineers (IE).[24]

Goel is with the editorial team of several journals including IEEE Sensors Journal,[25] IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience,[26] Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering,[27] Applied Nanoscience,[28] and Journal of Nanobiotechnology.[29] Earlier, he was in the Editorial Board of IEEE Access Journal. He has also been appointed as a Distinguished Lecturer by the IEEE Sensors Council for a term of 2 years from 2024-2026.[30]
