Glorious India Award in 2017 Society for Technical Communication (STC) Award of Merit in 2017 PROSE Award for best textbook in Physical Sciences & Mathematics in 2016 Toulouse Scholars Award fromUNT in 2016–17 IEEE Distinguished Lecturer since 2017
Saraju Mohanty is an Indian-American professor of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, and the director of the Smart Electronic Systems Laboratory, at theUniversity of North Texas in Denton, Texas.[1][2] Mohanty received a Glorious India Award – Rich and Famous NRIs of America in 2017 for his contributions to the discipline.[3] Mohanty is a researcher in the areas of "smart electronics for smart cities/villages", "smart healthcare", "application-Specific things for efficient edge computing", and "methodologies for digital and mixed-signal hardware".[4] He has made significant research contributions to security by design (SbD) for electronic systems, hardware-assisted security (HAS) and protection,high-level synthesis of digital signal processing (DSP) hardware, andmixed-signal integrated circuitcomputer-aided design andelectronic design automation. Mohanty has been the editor-in-chief (EiC) of theIEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine during 2016-2021.[5] He has held the Chair of theIEEE Computer Society'sTechnical Committee on Very Large Scale Integration during 2014-2018.[6][7] He holds 4 US patents in the areas of his research, and has published 500 research articles and 5 books.[8][9][10] He is ranked among top 2% faculty around the world in Computer Science and Engineering discipline as per the standardized citation metric adopted by the Public Library of Science Biology journal.[11][12][13][14]

In 1999 Mohanty completed a master's degree in engineering in Systems Science and Automation from theIndian Institute of Science in Bangalore, India.[17] His thesis mentors at IISc were Professor K. R. Ramakrishnan and ProfessorMohan Kankanhalli (IEEE Fellow)[18] with whom he co-authored his first peer-reviewed paper.[19]

Mohanty has worked on the Secure Digital Camera (SDC) for real-time security and IP protection at the source end of the information. In the Internet of Things (IoT) framework the SDC can be a sensor node (aka thing) for real-time trustworthy sensing. The SDC can have applications where still image or video digital cameras are needed, such as secure digital video broadcasting, secure video surveillance, electronic passport, and identity card processing. The secure digital camera (SDC) has been adopted by various researchers worldwide.[23][24][25]
Contributions tohigh-level synthesis of digital signal processing (DSP) hardware
Mohanty has worked tohigh-level synthesis (HLS) or architecture-level synthesis of digital signal processing (DSP) hardware.[26][27][28] His methods address energy consumption and power fluctuation in DSP hardware which are heart of consumer electronic systems such that battery life and battery efficiency increases.[29] His nanoelectronic-basedHigh-level synthesis techniques addresses the issue of process variations, the primary issue of nanoelectronic technology, during the high-level synthesis itself before the digital design moves to the detailed and lower levels of design abstractions, such as logic-level or transistor-level.[30]
Contributions to analog electronics and mixed-signal circuits
Mohanty has worked on design space exploration and optimization of analog/mixed-signal system on a chip (AMS-SoC) which is essentially the technology representation of a consumer electronics such as a smart mobile phone.[31] The key feature of these design flows is the need for only two manual layout (or physical design) iterations which saves significant design effort. These fast design flows rely on accuratemetamodels of the analog and mixed-signal circuit components. This research advances the state-of-the art in Design for Excellence (DfX) orDesign for X, such as Design for Variability (DfV) and Design for Cost (DfC).[32]
