BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Rakesh Sinha received the B.Tech degree in electronics and communication engineering from Kalyani Government Engineering College, Kalyani, India, in 2008, and the M.Tech and the Ph.D. degree in RF and microwave engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, in 2011 and 2016 respectively. From 2008 to 2009, he was with the Department of Robotics and Automation, Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute, Durgapur, India, as a Junior Research Fellow. He was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering, JIS College of Engineering, Kalyani, India, from 2016 to 2017. During 2017-2018, he was associated with the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, Ulsan, South Korea, as a Postdoctoral Researcher. He was associated with Chungnam National University, Daejeon, South Korea, from 2018 to 2019. Currently, Dr. Sinha is working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Rourkela, India. His current research interests are multiport network synthesis, impedance matching, coupling, decoupling networks, phased array, and computational electromagnetic. Dr. Sinha has proposed the concept of the phase-shifting matching network, port-decomposition technique, and Y-matrix algorithm for impedance transforming multiport. He and his students developed educational software for microwave circuit design available at IEEE Dataport and Zenodo. Two undergraduate students, under the supervision of Prof Rakesh Sinha, received Undergraduate Research Scholarships from IEEE APS and MTTS, respectively.
