Vinod Kumar Khanna, born in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, on 25.11.1952, received the M.Sc. degree from the University of Lucknow in 1975 and Ph.D degree from Kurukshetra University in 1988 for the thesis entitled “Development, Characterization and Modeling of the Porous Alumina Humidity Sensor”. He joined the Solid-State Devices Division of Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute on 21st April 1980. He has been working for the last 30 years on the design, fabrication and characterization of various solid-state devices, mainly power semiconductor devices and sensors. He has been actively involved in different research & development on thin film humidity sensor, high–voltage TV deflection transistor, power Darlington Transistor for AC motor drives, fast Switching thyristor, high-current and high-voltage rectifier, neutron dosimetry diode, power DMOSFET and IGBT, PMOSFET gamma ray dosimeter, MEMS–technology based microsensors: ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET), ISFET-based chemical and biosensors, capacitive MEMS ultrasonic transducer (cMUT), pressure sensors, MEMS gyroscope, and MEMS hotplate gas sensors.
His deputations abroad include: Denver, Colorado, USA for presentation of research papers in IEEE-Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting, 1986; Technical University, Darmstadt, Germany, 1999 under CSIR-DLR collaborative project; and Kurt-Schwabe-Institut für Mess- und Sensortechnik e.V. Meinsberg, 2008, under CSIR-DAAD Exchange of Scientists Programme; and Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Novosibirsk, Russia, as a member of Indian delegation in Indo-Russian workshop.
He has authored six books of which IGBT Theory and Design has been published by IEEE Press-Wiley Interscience, New Jersey, 2003. He has published 110 research papers in various reputed international/national journals and conference proceedings. He holds three patents.
He is a Fellow of the Institution of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineers (IETE), India. He is a life member of Indian Physics Association. (IPA); presently, he is Chairman of IPA, Pilani Chapter. He is a life member of Semiconductor Society (India) and Indo-French Technical Association (IFTA). Citations include Marquis Who’s Who in Science & Engineering, Marquis Who’s Who in Asia, etc.
His fields of specialization are power semiconductor devices, MEMS and microsensors. Presently, he is the head of MEMS & Microsensors Group at CEERI.
