News: Laboratory Manager Subasri Shankar, PhD

At SEMTech Solutions, we’re excited to introduce a new addition to our team: Dr. Subasri Shankar, our new Analytical Laboratory Manager. With a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and an impressive background in materials characterization, Dr. Shankar is poised to lead our analytical testing laboratory, helping us better serve our clients by providing top-tier materials analysis services.
Here’s a closer look at Dr. Shankar’s experience and the value she brings to the SEMTech Solutions team, as well as why now is the perfect time to send your samples to our analytical lab.

Meet Dr. Subasri Shankar

Dr. Shankar’s academic and professional journey reflects her deep commitment to the field of material science. She earned her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, focusing on materials characterization — analyzing the structure, composition, and properties of different materials using cutting-edge tools. Throughout her graduate studies, she worked with a broad range of materials, from energy technologies to polymeric sensors.

In her previous role as a technical associate at a leading electron microscopy center, Dr. Shankar gained extensive hands-on experience with high-resolution imaging equipment. This equipped her with the practical skills needed to operate, troubleshoot, and optimize advanced microscopy systems. Whether it was scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) or other high-end analytical tools, she became an expert in revealing the intricacies of materials down to the nanometer scale.

Her passion for discovering the smallest details that make materials unique is what drives her work, and it’s this dedication that she brings to SEMTech Solutions. Dr. Shankar was also instrumental in collaborating to write a recent article that was published in the September issue of Microscopy Today: Exploring Digital Zoom in Scanning Electron Microscopy.

How Dr. Shankar Enhances Our Analytical Lab

SEMTech Solutions has long been known for offering cutting-edge technology in scanning electron microscopy, with products like the SEMView8000 that upgrade and improve older SEM models. The addition of Dr. Shankar further strengthens our analytical testing laboratory, providing even more value to our clients.

Dr. Shankar’s expertise means that we can better support companies, researchers, and labs that may not have immediate access to high-end SEM facilities. Under her leadership, our lab offers in-depth analysis and imaging services, perfect for organizations seeking answers to material challenges without investing in new equipment. Whether it’s determining the composition of a sample, identifying structural anomalies, or exploring how a material behaves under various conditions, Dr. Shankar and the SEMTech Solutions team have you covered.
