Nitin S. Kale

Biography

Nitin S. Kale is a Co-founder & Chief Technology Officer at NanoSniff Technologies.He obtained his M. Tech from VNIT Nagpur in 1999, and his Ph. D. from the Electrical Engineering Department at IIT Bombay in 2007. During 2007 – 2008, he worked as a Principal Engineer at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, on the 32-nm High-K Metal Gate project. In 2009 he joined the IIT Bombay Nanomanufacturing Facility as its Manager. In this role he was responsible for the day to day operations and management of the Rs 200 Crore IIT Bombay Nanofabrication Facility.Since co-founding Nanosniff Technologies in June 2011, he is working as its Chief Technology Officer. In this role he is responsible for the R&D in the area of fabricating microcantilever sensors, microheaters; and developing instruments for detecting proteins, cardiac-markers and antibodies.He has developed several MEMS Products (Devices & Instrumentation), which include: 1. Instruments: (i) Omnicant; (ii) Omnicant Bio; 2. MEMS Devices: (i) Piezoresistive Microcantilevers; (ii) Microheaters; (iii) Microheaters with IDE’s. He has demonstrated the Proof of Concept of detecting Cardiac Proteins (hFAbP, Myoglobin etc) using Piezoresistive Microcantilevers, Ultrasensitive electronics, & a Custom-made Liquid-Cell.
