The Department of is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Madhur Srivastava as an Assistant Research Professor. Dr. Srivastava received his Ph.D. from the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering at Cornell, where he worked with Professor Jack Freed on developing computational methods to improve signal resolution in Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy for enabling biological studies at low sample concentrations. He subsequently joined the National Biomedical Center for Advanced ESR Technology (ACERT) in the Department of at Cornell as a Postdoctoral Research Associate, where he has been a key leader in introducing new data processing approaches based on wavelet transforms and regularization methods. Prior to that, Dr. Srivastava received an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering and an M.Eng. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, both at Cornell, and a B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering at the Jaypee University of Engineering and Technology in Guna, India.
In his new position, Dr. Srivastava will address challenges in early disease diagnosis and therapeutics by leading efforts to develop new computational methods for studying proteins, lipids, and membranes in their native environments. His primary research focus will be to enhance resolution in biophysical methods, such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging, by developing novel methods of data processing for single and multidimensional signals.
