Biography
Radhika S. Grover is a lecturer in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Santa Clara University. She received her B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology-Roorkee, India, her M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology, India, and her Ph.D. from Santa Clara University.
She has been teaching hardware and software courses in the ECEN and CSEN departments at Santa Clara University since 2004. These include courses on machine learning, computer architecture, Verilog HDL, MATLAB, Java, and C programming, multimedia information systems, mechatronics, secure coding, logic analysis and synthesis, and embedded systems. She has a strong interest in accessible design and human-computer interaction. She has led the design and development of a digital book for learning Python programming that can be used by students with blindness. She has provided training to industry audiences. Grover has also taught courses on Java and C Programming at the University of California Santa Cruz, SV Extension. In addition, she has authored a book on Java programming and holds a patent.
