Inventions and Contributions

[edit]

Prof. Sen is best known for inventing the Electro-Quasistatic Human Body Communication (EQS-HBC)[10] technology, also known as "Body as a Wire." This innovative technology enables high-speed data communication using the human body as a medium. His work in this area has earned him numerous accolades, including the MIT Technology Review's top 10 Indian Inventor Worldwide (Innovators Under 35) under 35 (MIT TR35 India) Award in 2018[11] and the Georgia Tech 40 Under 40 Award in 2022.[12]

In addition to EQS-HBC, Prof. Sen has contributions to the development of USB-C technology during his tenure at Intel Labs, for which he received the Intel Labs Quality Award in 2012. In 2023. during iphone's adoption of USB-C, prof Sen article highlighted the journey and importance of this technology.[13][14]

To commercialize EQS-HBC[15] technology, Prof. Sen founded Ixana. Under his leadership, Ixana has received multiple awards, including two CES Innovation Awards in 2024[16] and the Indiana Startup of the Year Mira Award in 2023.[17]

Shreyas Sen and his team at Purdue University developed an innovative wireless communication technique for neural implants called biphasic quasistatic brain communication. This method enhances efficiency by avoiding transduction losses, enabling seamless neural communication.[18]
