  • Dr. R. Sarathi is a Professor of High voltage engineering with IIT Madras. He has rich and varied experience of over 20 years in research, teaching and consulting. He has been instrumental in conceptualizing and developing the state-of-the-art High Voltage Laboratory at IIT Madras.
  • He visited Akita University, Japan as a JSPS Fellow; visited Technical University, Munich as DAAD Fellow and served as visiting researcher in leading universities such as Nagaoka University, Japan, Kyushu University, Japan, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, and Waseda University, Japan.
  • During 1995--2001 I was with the DSPS R&D Centre of Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX, USA), where I was working in the areas of Speech Recognition and Speech Coding. In 2001 I joined IIT Madras, where I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering. My area of interest is Signal Processing, with applications to Speech Recognition, Synthesis, and Coding.
