Scientific contributions

edit

Goel's work focuses on MEMS, microfluidics, and nanoelectronics in diverse applications like sensing, energy harvesting, and storage.[6] His most cited works include papers on sustainable fuel,[7] laser-induced graphene,[8] and biofuel cells, both enzymatic and microbial.[9] He has over 210 journal papers, 90 conference papers and 20 book chapters.[10] His team has filed 24 patents so far. He has edited two books, Microelectronics and Signal Processing: Advanced Concepts and Applications[11] and Miniaturized Electrochemical Devices.[12] His lab (MMNE Lab[1]) and company[3] focus on developing miniaturized smart sensors and energy harvesters for a variety of applications.

His group has also developed droplet microfluidic devices for diverse applications.[6] and his team is also working on characterizing and optimizing solar cells for underwater applications[13] and 3D printed devices for space applications.[14]

His team has started developing IoT enabled devices for soil parameter monitoring,[15] DNA amplification,[16] and Nanomaterial Synthesis applications.

Goel has given more than 95 invited talk at various conferences, workshops, and public forums.

Honors and awards

edit

Goel has won several awards, honors and distinctions, including the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Invitational Fellowship (2021),[17] Fulbright Fellowship (2015)[18][19] and Dr C R Mitra Best Faculty Award by Prof V S Rao Foundation / BITS-Pilani (2021). In 2022, he has become the fellow of Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE) and Institution of Engineers (IE).[citation needed]

Goel is with the editorial team of several journals including IEEE Sensors Journal,[20] IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience,[21] Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering,[22] Applied Nanoscience,[23] and Journal of Nanobiotechnology.[24] Earlier, he was in the Editorial Board of IEEE Access Journal. He has also been appointed as a Distinguished Lecturer by the IEEE Sensors Council for a term of 2 years from 2024-2026.[25]
