Kalyan Katuri, Ph.D.
Kalyan Katuri, Ph.D. is a mechanical engineer with expertise in data analytics, machine learning, autonomous control systems, MEMS, microfluidics, and structural mechanics. As a member of SmallTech’s core team, Dr. Katuri worked on projects related to development of deep-learning-based sensor for manufacturing process control, LiDAR systems on autonomous cars, and smart medical implants for automated disease diagnostics and treatment and MEMS Photonic devices. Prior to joining SmallTech in 2017, Dr. Katuri worked as an engineering consultant at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs and as a faculty member and a post-doctoral fellow in mechanical engineering department at Celmson university, SC. At Clemson, he taught courses related to engineering design, mechanics and control systems and also collaborated with engineering and product design teams from Boeing, BMW, Parker Hannifin, and TTI on projects related to autonomous mobile robots, power tools, and optimization of manufacturing processes. He was a recipient of James & Jill Albritton faculty fellowship and nominated for excellence in engineering teaching award.
Dr. Katuri earned a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering and MS degree in mechatronic systems from North Carolina State University. As a graduate researcher, Kalyan worked on minimally invasive implantable wireless MEMS sensors for continuous intra-ocular pressure monitoring and developed a non-contact sensor to detect paper moving on high-speed conveyors at velocities up to 1200 ft/min in a project funded by Department of Energy.
