Swapnil Gite

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Technology at Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Mumbai. I completed my M.Tech in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), Mumbai.

Before joining academia, I worked as a Research Engineer at Acuradyne Medical Systems, an IIT Bombay (SINE)-incubated startup, where I was involved in the design and development of embedded systems and smart healthcare devices. My work focused on embedded hardware design, sensor interfacing, biomedical instrumentation, wireless communication, real-time data acquisition, and IoT-enabled healthcare solutions. Earlier, I also worked as a Product Expert at Times Internet (Dineout) and gained experience in product implementation, customer training, and technical support.

My teaching and research interests include Embedded Systems, Internet of Things (IoT), Microcontrollers, Biomedical Instrumentation, Sensor Interfacing, Data Acquisition Systems, Wireless Sensor Networks, and Industrial Automation. I am particularly passionate about developing indigenous smart healthcare technologies and translating research ideas into practical engineering solutions.

I strongly believe that engineering education should extend beyond classroom learning. My teaching philosophy emphasizes experiential learning, project-based education, and industry-oriented skill development. I encourage students to explore emerging technologies through hands-on experimentation, hardware prototyping, and interdisciplinary projects, enabling them to develop practical skills that prepare them for careers in embedded systems, IoT, and Industry 4.0.

My current research interests include IoT-based Smart Healthcare Systems, Embedded Product Development, Wearable Medical Devices, AI-assisted Health Monitoring, Edge Computing, and Industry 4.0 technologies. I am also interested in mentoring students for innovative projects, hackathons, research publications, and technology-driven entrepreneurship.
