He has organized over 50 conferences, mini colloquiums and workshops along with IEEE, ECS, ACS and IoP. His research program is interdisciplinary area of "materials, interphases, and intelligent turnkey systems for sustainability" that bridge over disciplines. He has organized over 50 conferences, mini colloquiums and workshops along with IEEE, ECS, ACS and IoP. He is a long-standing member of IEEE and has been serving as associate editor for IEEE Access. His research program is interdisciplinary in nature that bridges over disciplines, with a focus on development micro-nano-fabricated chemical and biological sensors Turnkey systems with applications in healthcare, environmental monitoring and restoration (fauna and fauna), additive manufacturing, sustainable design and manufacturing, and clean water that address to real world problems, thereby improving quality of life.
Ajit Khosla's extensive expertise in microelectronics and sensor technology, combined with his distinguished academic career and industrial experience, makes him the ideal author for this book. His interdisciplinary research, focused on practical applications in healthcare and environmental monitoring, aligns perfectly with the goals of the book. Additionally, his vast editorial experience, leadership in major conferences, and hands-on industrial experience in developing sensor systems further solidify his role as an authoritative voice in the field.
