Assistant Professor
Bio
Dr. Debdeep Sarkar completed B.E. in ETCE from Jadavpur University in 2011, and his M.Tech. and Ph.D. in EE from IIT Kanpur, in 2013 and 2018 respectively. He has worked as Visiting Researcher and Post-doctoral fellow in RMC Canada, respectively during May 2017-Aug 2017 and Nov 2018-Feb 2020. After that, he has briefly served as Assistant Professor in Dept of EE, IIT Ropar, from March-July 2020. Dr. Sarkar has currently joined as an Assistant Professor in Dept of ECE, IISc Bangalore from August 2020. Dr. Sarkar has authored/co-authored more than 30 peer-reviewed journal papers and more than 50 international/national conference papers so far. He serves as a Reviewer in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Transactions on Plasma Sciences, IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine and IEEE Access. Dr. Sarkar serves as an Associate Editor in IEEE Access since December 2019. Dr. Sarkar is the recipient of the ‘URSI Young Scientist Award’ (YSA) twice, respectively in the URSI General Assembly (GASS), 2020 and URSI Asia-Pacific Radio Science Conference (AP-RASC), 2019. He has also received best paper awards and travel grants in several conferences of international repute. Dr. Sarkar has been recently selected in the prestigious position of ‘Infosys Young Investigator’ in the ECE Dept, IISc Bangalore.
Expertise
We aim to resolve problems on antennas, Radars and general electromagnetics (classical & quantum), relevant for the next generation information & communication Technology, health-care, security/defense and energy sector, by carrying out component, algorithm as well as system level research. Our works involve analysis and design of antenna-arrays, associated circuitry and frequency selective surfaces (FSS) prototypes, and often transcend to advanced theoretical and computational algorithm development for electromagnetic modelling of these complex systems. We are also interested in developing experimental setups and testbeds essential to measure the real-time performance improvement achieved by our proposed design methodologies.
