His research is strongly collaborative and international, with joint projects/publications with groups from universities such as U.Nairobi Kenya, Swinburne UT Australia, NTU Singapore, ZUT Poland, Imperial College London and U. Warwick UK, U. Bordeaux France, MSU USA and ETS Montreal, Canada.
Passionate for tech-translation, Dr. Rajagopal has co-founded Startups including Planys and Solinas which deliver robotic inspections for submerged structural assets and more recently Xyma Analytics set to deliver Industrial IOT using waveguide sensors. Dr. Rajagopal’s work on a robotic Septic Tank cleaning solution has also been discussed widely. Dr. Rajagopal’s interest in Design is for him, a part of his personal artistic quest that also underlines his interest in art and literature – as an avid poet, Dr Rajagopal has published two volumes of poetry in the English language, exploring the genres of cubism, surrealism and minimalism.
