Hareesh Chandrasekar
Co-Founder & CEO
Hareesh received his PhD from the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Science in 2016, for his work on Gallium Nitride materials & devices, and his doctoral thesis was awarded the Best Thesis Prize for Applied Research. This was followed by postdoctoral stints at the University of Bristol, UK and The Ohio State University, USA, all the while working on various aspects of Gallium Nitride technology. He has also worked for IBM India briefly as a chip designer in what feels like a past life.
Hareesh is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (SM-IEEE), and a (very) junior member of the growing ESDM entrepreneurial community in India given AGNIT’s short existence thus far.
"A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds"
My favorite scientific invention (and why):
The solid state transistor and all it took to make it a viable, working, commercially successful technology.
Outside of work, you'll find me:
Outside? What's outside?
