[1] Following Nathan's graduation, he spent time working at both LSI Logic Corporation and ETH Zurich in the 1990s, before he joined the University of Waterloo in 1997 to chair DALSA/Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council following the establishment of the university's Giga-to-Nanoelectronics Centre.
[6] At Cambridge, Arokia and his team developed ultra-low power transistor electronics in 2016 and 2019, which would go on to be used in various wearables and devices using Internet of Things technology.
[8][9][10] Prof. Nathan is currently in the School of Information Science and Engineering at Shandong University in Jian City, China.
[11] In 2020, he was the recipient of J. J. Ebers Award, for his work with thin-film transistor and flexible/foldable electronics integration strategies.
[12][13][14] Nathan's research and industry foresight has led to the creation of numerous companies, with a collective venture capital investment of over US$100 million.
