About Me: I received my M.Tech (PG) and PhD from the Department of Electronics Engineering of IIT (ISM) in 2009 and 2017 respectively. I received the B.E (UG) in Electronics Engineering Madhav Institute of Technology & Science (MITS), Gwalior in 2006 (The institute is declared Deemed to be University under Distinct Category by Ministry of Education, Government of India in the year 2024). I joined the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad as an Assistant Professor in 2011, where I am now an Associate professor in the Department of Electronics Engineering. I am a senior member of the IEEE, SPIE and Optica. Recently, I received approval for a research fund as PI of Rs. 1.98 Cr from DoT (Department of Telecommunication), Govt. of India, submitted under Accelerated Research on 6G Communications.

Research Interest: CMOS-foundry-compatible Silicon photonic devices and circuits for 6G and Beyond, Photonic Integrated circuit, Photonic antenna for OPA,
