Biography
Dr. Sagade is a researcher in the Electrical Engineering Division of Department of Engineering at University of Cambridge. He is also a part of EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Large-Area Electronics focusing on the designing of novel electronic devices to be printed on flexible sheets and exploring the possibilities for high speed testing of large-area electronics produced by reel-to-reel (r2r) manufacturing. He obtained his Ph. D. in Physics from Dr B. A. M. University, Maharashtra, India for the work on development of room temperature ammonia gas detection with Copper Sulfide films and its materials modification by high energy swift heavy ion irradiation in 2009. Also he has worked at JNCASR Bangalore and AMO GmbH Germany.He has co-authored more than 35 peer-reviewed publications and 3 US patent applications. Dr. Sagade has developed graphene device encapsulation process which assist in persisting its novel properties in ambient for several months and enable hysteresis free DC measurements. He is a recipient of several awards including EPSRC Industrial Internship Award, DST-Nano Postdoc Fellowship, CSIR-SRF, Junior and Senior Research Fellowships from Ministry of Defence DRDO, India, etc. Dr. Sagade is a member of AAAS and MRS-Singapore
