Dr. Devanand ShenoyProgram Manager
Dr. Shenoy joined DARPA in March 2007 after being detailed to DARPA as a Program Manager from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Washington, DC for a year and a half. He is currently managing four programs in MTO in the electronics, photonics, and sensing area: the Super-molecular Photonics Engineering (MORPH) program, RIEDAR for standoff explosives detection, Hemispherical ARray Detector for Imaging (HARDI) and Spin Torque Transfer Random Access Memory (STT-RAM).
Dr. Shenoy's interests are in exploiting novel concepts based on new materials and/or architectures for revolutionary electronic and photonic components and devices.
Dr. Shenoy received his B.S. in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at Bangalore University, Bangalore, India; his M.S. in Physics from the same University specializing in Solid State Physics; and his Ph.D. in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore, India on critical point phenomena in condensed matter using photon correlation spectroscopy.
He developed postdoctoral experience in laser light scattering from polymer systems at the Department of Macromolecular Science, Case Western Reserve University and later served as Research Faculty in Physics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. There, his fundamental contributions to the understanding of the polyethylene oxide/water system led to publications in high-impact journals such as Nature. At the Naval Research Lab in Washington, DC, he led and contributed to several DoD projects including nanopore-based DNA sequencing, dispersion and alignment of single walled carbon nanotubes, uncoooled IR sensor based on pyroelectric liquid crystals, underwater acoustic detection utilizing high birefringence complex fluids, artificial muscles with nematic polymers, and photo-aligned liquid crystal alignment layers.
Dr. Shenoy has served on the DoD Display Technology Panel. He belongs to multiple societies including; American Physical Society, American Chemical Society, and the International Society for Photo-Acoustic and Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE). He has served as referee for reputed publication journals such as Nano Letters and Physical Review letters.
He has more than 50 publications and a book chapter.
Dr. Shenoy's recent NRL awards include four invention awards, an NRL contribution award, the technology transfer award and a special act award for exceptional performance significantly exceeding normal job requirements.
