Dr. Praween Kumar Nishad
- About Faculty: Dr. Praween Kumar Nishad received his Ph.D. degree from IIT Bhubaneswar, India, in January 2024, with electronics and communication in the School of Electrical Sciences. He received his M.Tech. degree from NIT Rourkela, India, in 2013 in the Department of Electronics and Communication. He worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at IIT Roorkee from January 2024 to February 2025. His research is centered on designing and optimizing passive components such as high-performance inductors and highly directive couplers, which are pivotal in enhancing the efficiency of high-frequency communication systems (THz systems). Focusing on RF microstrip planar inductors and coupler and hybrid design, he has contributed significantly to advancing passive components for THz applications, aiming to address the growing demands of modern communication technologies. Expanding his research in line with the evolution of next-generation communication systems, He is also working on developing Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) tailored for 6G communication. His interdisciplinary approach integrates electromagnetics, communication theory, and materials science to innovate RIS applications for both communication and industrial uses. He is the author of 10 technical papers published in reputed journals and conferences and 1 Indian patent filed.
