Bio

Dr. Swathy S. Panicker is an Assistant Professor level 10 in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri, Kerala, India. She received her B.Tech. degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), Kerala, in 2015, and her M.Tech. degree in VLSI Design from Amrita School of Engineering, Amritapuri, in 2019. She completed her Ph.D. in Electronics and Communication Engineering at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham in 2026.

Her research interests span VLSI design, analog and digital integrated circuits, CMOS circuit design, low-power VLSI systems, and embedded systems, alongside functional nanomaterials, polymer composites, energy harvesting, and flexible electronics. Her doctoral research focused on developing and optimizing triboelectric and hybrid nanogenerators using engineered polymer films and nanomaterial-based composites, including PDMS, PVDF, and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). She is particularly interested in material engineering, dielectric property enhancement, polarization mechanisms, and sustainable energy-harvesting technologies for wearable and self-powered electronic applications.

In addition to her research activities, she is involved in teaching and mentoring undergraduate and postgraduate students in electronics, VLSI design, and embedded systems, with an emphasis on practical learning and interdisciplinary engineering applications.
