Summary
Chandrajit Thaokar is an engineer and 5th-year PhD candidate with 11 years’ experience applying thermal engineering, real-time computation, and sensor data integration to high-stakes problems in healthcare and aerospace. He developed fast, computationally inexpensive algorithms and physical models for real-time thermal imaging during cryosurgery, enabling continuous monitoring and finer control of tissue freezing. His background includes designing and fabricating cryogenic cooling systems for FLIR and satellite imaging sensors, and building fault-tolerant data pipelines for global sensor networks using Lambda architecture. Comfortable in multidisciplinary teams, he excels at turning complex physics into practical, low-latency software and hardware solutions for high-risk, high-reward projects. Based in Palo Alto, he is seeking roles that bridge computation, engineering, and healthcare innovation.
