About

Sreekiran Samala is a leading figure in the development of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) CMOS radar technology, with a primary focus on automotive and industrial sensing applications. His most impactful work centers on the design of high-performance, small form-factor radar systems operating in the 76-to-81 GHz and 57-to-64 GHz bands—critical frequency ranges for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). His seminal 2021 paper, which has garnered over 70 citations, demonstrates how CMOS solutions are revolutionizing the radar landscape by enabling multi-mode operation that supports long, medium, and short-range detection in a single, compact chip. This breakthrough is pivotal for enhancing automotive safety, allowing vehicles to seamlessly switch between highway cruising and urban maneuvering. Samala’s contributions are not merely theoretical; they address the practical challenges of integrating high-frequency radar into cost-effective, mass-producible silicon. By pushing the boundaries of mm-wave CMOS design, he is helping to accelerate the adoption of autonomous driving features and industrial automation sensors. His work stands as a cornerstone for engineers seeking to balance performance, power, and size in next-generation radar systems.
