Dr. Anand Gadre graduated in physics and electronic instrumentation from the University of Mumbai (India) in 1994. He received his M.S. Degree at the Institute of Science in 1997. During his master’s degree, his research was involved in characterizing the structural, electrical, and optical properties of insulating polymers. He joined University Department of Chemical technology (UDCT) in 1997 and completed his doctorate in 2001. The subject of his Ph.D. research was to develop and characterize various insulating and conducting polymer composites for gas sensing applications.

In April 2001 Dr. Gadre joined University of Maryland as a postdoctoral research scholar. During this research program he was involved in developing novel fabrication strategies for polymeric microfluidic devices for biological applications.

Currently Dr. Gadre is an Assistant Professor in the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering–State University of New York at Albany. His research centers around micro-electro-mechanical Systems (MEMS), including novel process integration techniques for polymeric BioMEMS and bionanotechnology. Dr. Gadre’s research interests also focus on biomedical applications such as development of noninvasive nanoscale sensors and drug delivery systems and cell transfection microdevices.

Dr. Gadre’s group also focuses on conducting polymers, in particular the synthesis of conducting/insulating polymeric composite films and nanofibers using electrospinning and electrochemical polymerization techniques, and the application of these polymeric composites as chemical and biological sensors, polymeric LED, and polymeric rechargeable batteries.
