Role

Jeshma Thalapil Vaheeda joined the School of Engineering Computing and
Mathematics in 2023 as a Lecturer in Electric Vehicles and is currently serving as a
Senior Lecturer in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. She graduated with M.Tech.
and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology
Madras (IIT-M), India, in 2013 and 2022, respectively. She has previously worked at
Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions Limited, Bangalore, India and
General Electric Research, Bangalore, India. Her research interests include sensors
and signal conditioning, and measurements and instrumentation for automotive and
industrial applications.
