Damu Radhakrishnan

Damu Radhakrishnan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering at SUNY New Paltz. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Idaho, following B.Sc. and M.Tech. degrees from the University of Kerala and IIT Kanpur, India. His research focuses on low-power digital architectures, high-performance arithmetic circuits, reversible logic, and bio-medical instrumentation. He teaches courses including Introduction to Engineering Science, Digital Logic Lab, Digital Systems Design, and Senior Design Project 2.

Dr. Radhakrishnan has contributed to over 20 publications since 1983, emphasizing low-power circuit design, residue arithmetic, and biomedical device development. His work spans analog-to-residue converters, fault-tolerant systems, and medical instrumentation. Key technical reports include contributions to NASA Langley Research Center and EG&G Corporation projects.

His research trends reflect a sustained focus on energy-efficient digital systems, with early contributions to CMOS power optimization and later advancements in biomedical device testing. His publications demonstrate expertise in both theoretical foundations (e.g., switching theory textbooks) and applied engineering (e.g., defibrillator analyzers).

Dr. Radhakrishnan maintains an active lab in Resnick Engineering Hall, where he oversees senior design projects and collaborates on interdisciplinary engineering solutions. His technical reports highlight contributions to medical simulation tools, VLSI implementation methods, and analog-digital interface design.
