Victor Karthik

Victor Karthik serves as Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Spring Arbor University, where he teaches core engineering courses and mentors students in entrepreneurial design thinking for social impact. With over seven years of industrial experience developing medical devices, he bridges academic theory with real-world applications.

His academic credentials include a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Michigan State University (2015) and a B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Peradeniya (2010).

Dr. Karthik's research program spans three interconnected domains: medical device innovation (particularly cardiac monitoring systems), computational electromagnetics for non-destructive testing, and intelligent solar tracking solutions. His work consistently emphasizes practical applications that generate economic and social value while aligning with his Christian faith-based mission to improve quality of life.

Recent publications reveal a strategic shift toward sustainable energy systems (2023 solar tracking IoT research) and biomedical applications (2021 hyperthermia treatment optimization), building upon foundational computational electromagnetics work (2015). This trajectory demonstrates increasing focus on healthcare technology and renewable energy integration.

Key recognitions include:

• McKenna Scholar Award for academic excellence (2023)
• Elevation to IEEE Senior Member status (2023)

As a former engineering lead at Avidhrt Inc., he co-invented two U.S. patents for vital monitoring technology and continues to mentor students in entrepreneurial design. His current research integrates industrial experience with academic inquiry, particularly in developing intelligent systems for healthcare and renewable energy applications.
