Abhiman Hande is a research associate in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas. He is presently working in the Embedded and Adaptive Computing (EAC) group and is also a member of the Center for Integrated Circuits and Systems (CICS) at UTD. His primary interests are power electronics, microcontroller-based embedded systems, and applications for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Presently at UTD, he is involved in switch mode power supply design as well as a variety of WSN applications focused in the biomedical arena. He is also investigating energy harvesting techniques for powering ubiquitous WSN nodes. In addition, he is involved in developing algorithms for detecting physiological defects from biopotential instruments.

Before joining UTD in August 2005, he was an Assistant Professor in the electrical and computer engineering department at Lake Superior State University, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. During his tenure at LSSU, he taught a variety of electrical and computer engineering courses including Electronic Design, Digital Fundamentals, Microcontroller Fundamentals, Microcomputer Systems, Digital Design, and C Programming.

He received his B.E degree from the University of Bombay in 1996, and his M.S and Ph.D degrees from the University of Toledo in 2000 and 2002 respectively all in Electrical Engineering. During his tenure at UT, he worked on a variety of projects that focused on techniques to improve the performance and extend life of electric and hybrid electric (EV and HEV) battery packs. These projects involved design of battery equalizers and chargers, battery testing, and DC/DC, AC/DC converter and DC/AC inverter design. He received the Outstanding Student Research Award at UT during the 2001-02 year in view of his significant research contribution among graduate students.

He worked as an electrical engineer at RPG Cables Ltd., India from June 1996 through June 1998 where he was involved in several energy conservation projects such as power factor correction, optimal load distribution, and improving generator efficiency. He is a member of IEEE, Power Electronics Society (PELS), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS).
