Background

Dr. Bhattacharya received his M.S. and Ph.D. Degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India. Since 1996, he has been working on embedded thin film passives and ultra-high density packaging at Georgia Tech. His current research focus is Embedded Actives, MEMS, Antennas, and RFIDs on low-loss organic substrates and nano-structured materials for microelectronics applications. He was the organizer and co-instructor of the course “Electronic Packaging Substrate Fabrication”, ECE/ChE 4755 at Georgia Tech. He offers short courses on embedded passives in several National and International Conferences. He has coauthored over 200 technical publications.
