Vivek Subramanian received his BS in Electrical Engineering from Louisiana State University, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1994. He then continued his studies at Stanford University, Stanford, California, obtaining his MS degree in 1996 and his PhD in 1998. Both degrees were in electrical engineering.

Upon graduation, Dr. Subramanian served as a visiting research engineer at the University of California, Berkeley, working as part of the team developing the FinFET. Dr. Subramanian co-founded Matrix Semiconductor, Inc., in 1998 to develop a pioneering 3D memory structure. Since 2000, he has been a faculty member at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is currently a Professor of Electrical engineering and Computer Sciences. His current research focuses on printed electronics for display, low-cost logic, and sensing applications. His research group has driven extensive development of tools, processes, materials and devices to enable to realization of the emerging field of printed electronics.

Dr. Subramanian is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and has served on the technical committee for the IEEE Device Research Conference and the IEEE International Electron Device Meeting. In 2002, he was nominated to Technology Review's list of top 100 young innovators (the TR100) and received a young investigator award (CAREER award) from the National Science Foundation. He was a co-recipient of the Paul Rappaport Award for the best paper in an IEEE EDS journal in 2002, the IEEE Device Research Conference best paper award in 2004, and an outstanding paper award from the 2012 IMAPS Microelectronics Conference. He received the outstanding teaching award from the EECS Department at the University of California, Berkeley in 2004.
