Karthik Srinivasan

Karthik Srinivasan serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boise State University, leading the Applied Magnetics and Photonics (AMPS) Laboratory where his research group develops novel magnetic and photonic materials and devices.

His educational background includes:

• B.S. in Electronics and Communication Engineering (2016), Anna University, Chennai, India
• M.S. in Electrical Engineering (2019), University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (2021), University of Minnesota-Twin Cities

Dr. Srinivasan's research spans Magnetics, Photonics, and Materials Science, focusing on photonic computing, millimeter/terahertz wave devices, and extreme-environment sensing. His doctoral work pioneered magneto-optical integration with silicon photonics using rare-earth iron garnets, enabling breakthroughs in magnetic memories, microwave filters, and atomic clocks. Prior postdoctoral research at Cornell University advanced amorphous ferrimagnetic alloys for tunable microwave devices.

Notable recognition:

• Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities

Dr. Srinivasan actively contributes to academic service as Chair of the IEEE Young Professionals Affinity Group (Boise Section), steering committee member for the Around-the-Clock Around-the-Globe Magnetics Conference, and board member of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the American Vacuum Society. He champions STEM education access for underrepresented minorities and fosters academic entrepreneurship.
