Draft:Harish Bhaskaran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it likely meets the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NPROF) but presently it has some issues.
    As other reviewers have noted, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’.
    Please note that some of the references would appear to be from sources that are NOT considered reliable for establishing notability and should be removed (including blogs, company websites, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify etc).
    Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a promotional CV, which Wikipedia is not; and contains prose and grammatical errors that are not of a standard appropriate for an encyclopaedia (also see WP:PEACOCK).
    Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being the subject (see WP:AUTOBIO) or being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).
    Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
    It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:ANYBIO criteria #3, because XXXXX").
    Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 22:21, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

  • Comment: From what I can tell, the subject of this article passes the criteria at WP:NPROF in multiple ways and they are notable. However, doing spot checks on a few sources, a lot of this seems to be unsourced original research with random sources thrown in, e.g. the entire education section and much of the career section. Please either remove this content or add a reliable source. – Isochrone (talk) 09:37, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Harish Bhaskaran is a British-Indian engineer and currently Professor of Applied Nanomaterials at the University of Oxford. Bhaskaran specialises in the field of nanoscale technology, including photonic or neuromorphic computing and displays.[1] He is a highly cited researcher in photonics and computing hardware[2][3][4]. He is also a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and a Chartered Engineer and was elected a fellow[5] of the British Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) in 2023.

Education

[edit]

He obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering from the College of Engineering Pune.[6] He then obtained a MS in Mechanical Engineering carrying out research on packaging of MEMS systems at the University of Maryland College Park.[7], subsequently obtaining a PhD in the same University for his work on Nanoelectromechanical Systems under the direction of Keith Schwab and Peter Sandborn.

Career

[edit]

Bhaskaran worked at IBM Research - Zurich[8] where he worked on phase change materials and novel atomic force microscopy probes, inventing the PtSi probes that have since been commercialized and creating diamond-like-carbon tips for ultra-low wear.[9][10] After a period of stay at Yale University[8], he joined the University of Exeter as a Lecturer and then in 2013 joined the University of Oxford, where he established the Advanced Nanoscale Engineering Group. He was promoted to Professor of Applied Nanomaterials in 2016. He serves as a director of the Oxford Fab.[11] From September 2023, he serves as the Associate Head for Research of the Mathematical Physical and Life Sciences Division at the University of Oxford[12]. He was the leader of the UK's Wearable and Flexible Technologies (WAFT) consortium across Oxford, Southampton and Exeter Universities and 15 industrial partners.[13]

Research

[edit]

Bhaskaran led the Oxford-based WAFT Consortium and also the research into smart windows,[14] including applications in the glazing industry.[15] The latter project aims to harness the Sun's heat and use it to heat a home in the winter, but also reflect it in the summer.[16] Part of Bhaskaran's recent career is spinning out companies such as Bodle Technologies and Salience Labs from Oxford University.[17][18] Other more efficient technologies have also been developed by Bhaskaran, including producing new screen technology for devices with poor outdoor readability and high-power consumption.[19][20]

He is an inventor of the photonic non-volatile memory,[21] the photonic tensor core,[22][23] and has worked on amplitude based weight setting as the primary approach using functional phase change materials. His work on switchable photonics as part of the computational effort was instrumental in spinning out Salience Labs.[24]
