Research:
Shruti’s area of interest includes novel methods of fabrication of electroceramics and composites. Shruti is involved in several projects related to their fabrication using the cold sintering process. Her previous project was on cold sintering of piezoelectric 2-2 composites using cold sintering process for ultrasound transducers that operate at high frequencies. Therein she demonstrated the ability to control the geometry of the transducer by cold sintering. Shruti is currently working on acoustically monitoring the cold sintering process in electroceramics to understand the densification process and identify and detect any flaws that arise during the process.
