Shreyas Sen is an Indian-American electrical engineer and academic who is the Elmore Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.[1] He is known for his invention of Electro-Quasistatic Human Body Communication (EQS-HBC) technology, also known as "Body-as-a-Wire,"[2] and is the founder and Chief Technology Officer of Ixana, a semiconductor company developing wireless communication technology for wearable devices.[3]

Early life and education

edit

Sen received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2010.[4] His doctoral research focused on mixed-signal circuits and systems for smart radios.[5]

Career

edit

From 2011 to 2015, Sen worked at Intel Labs as a Staff Scientist, where he contributed to the development of USB-C technology.[6] He received the Intel Labs Quality Award in 2012 and the Intel Labs Divisional Recognition Award in 2014 for his contributions.[7] Prior to Intel, he worked at Qualcomm in RFIC design and at Rambus in communication circuit design.[8]

Sen joined Purdue University in 2015 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. He currently serves as the Elmore Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering with a courtesy appointment in Biomedical Engineering.[9] He directs the Center for Internet of Bodies (C-IoB) at Purdue.[10]

Sen has published over 200 journal and conference papers with more than 5,500 citations according to Google Scholar.[11] He serves as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits and Nature Scientific Reports.[12]

Research and innovations

edit

Sen's research spans multiple areas of electrical and computer engineering, with focus on human body communication, hardware security, biomedical devices, and Internet of Things applications.

Human Body Communication

Sen pioneered the development of Electro-Quasistatic Human Body Communication (EQS-HBC), which enables the human body to function as a communication channel for wearable devices.[13] His team developed the first bio-physical model of EQS-HBC and created integrated circuits that consume 100 times less energy than Bluetooth Low Energy, achieving sub-microwatt power consumption.[14] According to Tech Xplore, this technology reduces the communication range from 5-10 meters to under 15 centimeters, significantly improving security for body area networks.[15] The work includes development of inter-body coupling theory enabling communication through touch.[16]

Hardware Security

Sen's hardware security research focuses on electromagnetic and power side-channel attack countermeasures. His work received the Intel Outstanding Researcher Award in 2020 for developing "low-overhead countermeasures for power and electromagnetic side-channel attacks."[17] His team developed Moving Target Defense (MTD) techniques achieving over 1 billion different configurations against electromagnetic and power side-channel attacks.[18] He introduced cross-device machine learning side-channel attacks (X-DeepSCA) and developed the first radio-frequency physically unclonable function.[19] This research earned Best Paper Awards at IEEE Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST) for four consecutive years (2017-2020) and was selected as TopPicks 2019 in hardware security.[20]

Biomedical and Neural Devices

In collaboration with neuroscientists, Sen developed biphasic quasistatic brain communication technology for wireless neural implants, published in Nature Electronics in 2023.[21] The technology enables broadband communication for brain implants with 60 dB channel loss at 55mm distance and 10 Mbps data rates.[22] The research was featured in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) Journal Club as a proof-of-concept for mouse brain implants communicating wirelessly with wearable electronics.[23] His team also developed a wearable swallow sensor node for dysphagia monitoring and high-resolution time-___domain biosensors.[24]

Internet of Things and Edge Computing

Sen received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2020 for research on resource-constrained IoT edge intelligence.[25] His team developed self-optimizing system-on-chip designs for computation and communication, achieving over 500-fold power savings in large-area IoT sensor networks deployed across Purdue University campus.[26] The research includes development of context-aware and zero-margin communication protocols and mixed-signal neuron designs for energy-efficient edge AI applications.[27]

High-Speed Communication Circuits

During his tenure at Intel Labs (2011-2015), Sen contributed to the development of USB-C technology, receiving the Intel Labs Quality Award in 2012.[28] His research includes development of a 32 Gbps millimeter-scale proximity connector and adaptive radio frequency integrated circuits for 5G and beyond applications.[29] This work received the Best Paper Award at IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference in 2019.[30]
