About

V. Hemamalini is a leading researcher at the forefront of industrial automation and its application to pharmaceutical innovation. Her work primarily explores the convergence of advanced technologies—including robotics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT)—within the emerging paradigm of Industry 5.0. Her most cited work, the 2024 chapter “Industrial Automation in Drug Discovery” (10 citations), provides a seminal analysis of how these technologies are fundamentally reshaping the drug development pipeline, from target identification to clinical trials. This contribution has been recognized as a key reference for understanding the shift toward human-centric, sustainable, and resilient automated systems in pharma. Hemamalini’s research is distinguished by its forward-looking perspective, bridging the gap between cutting-edge automation and practical, real-world drug discovery challenges. Her insights are particularly valuable for students and researchers seeking to understand how Industry 5.0 principles can accelerate therapeutic development while maintaining ethical and collaborative human-machine partnerships.
