Scientific contributions edit

Goel's work focuses on MEMS, microfluidics, and nanoelectronics in diverse applications like sensing, energy harvesting, and storage.[7] His most cited works include papers on sustainable fuel,[8] laser-induced graphene,[9] and biofuel cells, both enzymatic and microbial.[10] He has over 210 journal papers, 90 conference papers and 20 book chapters.[11] His team has filed 24 patents so far.[1] He has edited two books, Microelectronics and Signal Processing: Advanced Concepts and Applications[12] and Miniaturized Electrochemical Devices.[13] His lab (MMNE Lab[2]) and company[4] focus on developing miniaturized smart sensors and energy harvesters for a variety of applications.

His group has also developed droplet microfluidic devices for diverse applications.[7] and his team is also working on characterizing and optimizing solar cells for underwater applications[14] and 3D printed devices for space applications.[15]

His team has started developing IoT enabled devices for soil parameter monitoring,[16] DNA amplification,[17] and Nanomaterial Synthesis applications.

Goel has given more than 95 invited talk at various conferences, workshops, and public forums.[18]

Honors and awards edit

Goel has won several awards, honors and distinctions, including the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Invitational Fellowship (2021),[19] Fulbright Fellowship (2015)[20][21] and Dr C R Mitra Best Faculty Award by Prof V S Rao Foundation / BITS-Pilani (2021). In 2022, he has become the fellow of Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE) and Institution of Engineers (IE).[citation needed]

Goel is with the editorial team of several journals including IEEE Sensors Journal,[22] IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience,[23] Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering,[24] Applied Nanoscience,[25] and Journal of Nanobiotechnology.[26] Earlier, he was in the Editorial Board of IEEE Access Journal. He has also been appointed as a Distinguished Lecturer by the IEEE Sensors Council for a term of 2 years from 2024-2026.[27]
