Biography

Sastry got her bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Delaware as a Eugene I. DuPont Scholar. She later received a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University.[2] She joined the University of Michigan as a faculty member in 1995. While at the University of Michigan, she founded and directed GM/UM Advanced Battery Coalition for Drivetrains and Energy Systems Engineering graduate program.[2]

Research

Sastry has worked in a variety of fields,[2] including composite materials,[3] percolation phenomena,[4][5] diabetes,[6] and battery materials,[7][8][9][10] design and optimization.[11] Her work has been cited over 6400 times.[12]

Business and technology

Sastry co-founded the solid-state battery company Sakti3 in 2008 as a spin-out of her university lab, with several of her students.[2] The company was acquired by Dyson Ltd. in 2015.[13] Sakti3 has an intellectual property portfolio of 94 patents and patents pending.[14] Dyson has since sold off these patents.

Awards and honors

Sastry has won multiple awards and honors including 1997 NSF PECASE Award (Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers),[15] Gustus L. Larson Memorial Award of the ASME in 2007[2] and Frank Kreith Award of the ASME in 2011.[16] She was named an ASME fellow in 2004.[17]

Volunteer and non-profit roles

Sastry has served as a volunteer and board director for charitable and non-profit organizations related to poverty alleviation and clean technology, including IHN Alpha House and the ICCT (International Council on Clean Transportation).[18]
