Program Manager
Defense Sciences Office
Sunil Bhave, Ph.D., joined DARPA in August 2023 as a program manager in the Defense Sciences Office.
His research explores the inter-domain coupling in opto-mechanical, spin-acoustic and atom-microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). He aspires to leverage fundamental understanding of these coupled systems for improved inertial sensors.
In April 2015, he joined the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.
Bhave received the NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award in 2007, DARPA Young Faculty Award (YFA) in 2008, IEEE Ultrasonics Young Investigator Award in 2014, Google Faculty Research Award in 2020 and IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society’s 2023 Walter G. Cady Award.
