Biography

Radheshyam Tewari was a lecturer in the ME-EM department at Michigan Tech from 2014 to 2018 and is now an associate teaching professor. He earned his PhD and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan Tech. He completed his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology in India. Tewari came to Michigan Tech in 2005 after working for three years in the manufacturing, production, and total productive maintenance (TPM) areas at Bajaj Auto Limited in India. Tewari’s research at Michigan Tech has been highly interdisciplinary. His extensive research experiences are a result of working on numerous projects in the areas of implantable medical devices, micro and nano biosensors, mechanical micromachining and microfabrication, semiconductor fabrication technologies, and micro and nano metrology and characterization tools. Broadly, his specialties are in process and product development for applications involving micro and nano systems.
