Sashank Krishnamurthy

I was born in Chennai, India, in 1993. I received my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras in 2015, and my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2020. My Ph.D. dissertation focused on N-path filter techniques for interference-resilient receiver front ends for next-generation wireless communication systems.

From Jan 2021 to Apr 2026, I was a Research Scientist at Intel Labs in Hillsboro, OR, where I worked on high-speed VCSEL-based co-packaged optical transceivers and low-power die-to-die interconnects. I have also served as a Visiting Lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley.

In May 2026, I joined the department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras as an Assistant Professor.
