Dr. Jayshri Sabarinathan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Associate Director in the Institute for Earth and Space Exploration at The University of Western Ontario. She obtained her PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her primary expertise is in novel nano-photonic sensors, integrated photonics, and miniature remote sensing instrumentation. She has extensive experience on several collaborative projects with industry and academic partners through large funded grants to develop novel sensors and imagers for practical applications. Her research work has also led to two US patents for micro photonic-sensors and multi-spectral camera innovations. She is involved in several Canadian Space Agency (CSA) funded projects related to remote optical instrumentation development. Her research group has demonstrated custom multispectral imager instrumentation for unmanned aerial vehicle-based and mobile robot-based remote sensing which have applications in agronomy, and geological classification. She has given several invited talks at optics conferences. She is an OSA senior member and has served on several conference committees including recently as session co-chair for Photonics North 2021 – Non-linear optics, Nanophotonics and plasmonics session, and on ICOOPMA technical committee. She also served as Associate Chair, Graduate (2016-2019) of the Western ECE department where she played an instrumental role in several new initiatives to improve the quality of graduate education training.
