About

Dr. Srinivas Merugu is a leading researcher in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), with a particular focus on piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (pMUTs) and their applications in high-precision sensing. His most-cited work, "High Resolution, High Frequency Ultrasonic Ranging in Air with pMUTs" (2021, 23 citations), introduces a novel technique for operating pMUTs below their resonance frequency to achieve a wide bandwidth. This breakthrough enables high-resolution, high-frequency ultrasonic ranging, which is critical for applications in robotic navigation, industrial automation, and contactless distance measurement. By enhancing the performance of pMUTs, Dr. Merugu’s contributions address key challenges in achieving both accuracy and efficiency in air-coupled ultrasonic systems. His research bridges the gap between fundamental MEMS design and practical deployment, offering scalable solutions for next-generation sensing technologies. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Merugu’s work is shaping the future of ultrasonic ranging, making him a notable figure in the MEMS and sensor communities. His achievements underscore a commitment to advancing miniaturized, high-performance devices for real-world applications.
