Subramaniam Saravana Sankar, born in Tamil Nadu, India, in 1995, has cultivated an impressive academic and professional journey that has led him to his current role as a Doctoral Researcher at the Center for Security, Information, and Advanced Technologies (CEBIA-Tech) within the Faculty of Applied Informatics at Tomáš Bata University in Zlín, Czech Republic.
Subramaniam’s academic voyage commenced with a B.Eng. in Instrumentation and Control Systems Engineering, acquired at PSG College of Technology in Coimbatore, India. This was the foundation upon which he built his subsequent educational pursuits, including his M.Eng. in Mechanical and Automotive Engineering at KMUTNB in Thailand. His academic excellence was further underscored by securing a Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) fellowship during his tenure in Thailand. It is worth noting that his academic interests converged with his passion for electronics and control systems in the automotive sector.
During his academic journey, Subramaniam delved into the realm of automotive electronics and control. He left an indelible mark with the publication of his research work, particularly the notable study titled “Optimal Eco-Driving Cycles for Conventional Vehicles Using a Genetic Algorithm,” which emerged during his master’s studies.
In his current capacity as part of the “Parasol – European Doctoral Network for Safe and Sustainable Electromagnetic Shielding Solutions for Mobility,” Subramaniam is engaged in research sponsored by the European Commission’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). His primary focus revolves around developing an active shield method to bolster the robustness and immunity of safety-critical applications. Subramaniam’s work involves probing the sensitive frequencies of these devices and devising strategies to eliminate vulnerabilities. He diligently documents design solutions, weighing them against the imperative of Safe and Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) principles.
Validation of these designs includes employing simulation tools such as CST Studio Suite, followed by the creation of prototypes that undergo rigorous testing within EMC laboratories. Subramaniam collaborates with the University of York, UK, and NXP Semiconductors, Czech Republic, for these critical prototyping and testing phases.
Subramaniam Saravana Sankar’s academic and professional journey is emphasized by his dedication to advancing the field of automotive electronics and his contributions to the realm of safe and sustainable electromagnetic shielding solutions in electronics for mobility.
