Dr. Arumugam listed as one of 10 amazing innovators who changed the world in 2017.
Darmindra D. Arumugam received the PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), with focus in applied physics. He is currently a senior research technologist and applied physics program manager at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA JPL), California Institute of Technology (Caltech).
DR. DARMINDRA ARUMUGAM
Dr. Arumugam leads the Applied Electromagnetics Group at JPL, Caltech. The groups expertise is in field and wave electrodynamics.
Our current research focus is non-line-of-sight and occluded field and wave electromagnetics, with present application to non-line-of-sight positioning and localization systems, sub-surface and through-the-wall remote sensing, imaging, and radio/wireless power transfer. We study phenomena, and develop novel sensors and systems to address high impact and challenging, scientific and engineering problems.
