Professor Sriram Subramanian serves as Professor of Computer Science at University College London and was elected Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng) in 2025 for transformative contributions to engineering innovation.
His research pioneers acoustic manipulation through ultrasound technologies, enabling mid-air touch sensations, levitation, and contactless control systems. Early breakthroughs led to Ultrahaptics (now Ultraleap), while subsequent work on reconfigurable acoustic metamaterials founded Metasonixx. Current efforts focus on sound-field manipulation of physical matter—including liquids, powders, and biological samples—culminating in AcoustoFab for acoustic robotic systems in laboratory automation and digital manufacturing.
A passionate science communicator, he engages public audiences through levitation and holography demonstrations, inspiring STEM interest among youth. His work receives prominent coverage in The Guardian, The Times, and CNN.
Scientific awards:
- Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng), 2025
