Research Interests
My research interests are RF, Microwave and Antenna Design Engineering, Radar System Design, and Satellite communication applications.I have also recently published two research works “Hybrid‐fed shared aperture antenna array for X/K‐band airborne synthetic aperture radar applications” and “A multi-layer S/X-band shared aperture antenna array for airborne synthetic aperture radar applications SCI journalsIET Microwave Antennas Propagation and International Journal of RF Microwave Computer Aided Engineering.I am currently doing research on Shared Aperture Antenna Array technology for Airborne and Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar Applications.
Justification
While pursuing master degree under the specialization of Communication and Radar system at the KoneruLakshmaiah Education Foundation (KLEF-Deemed to be University), Vaddeswaram, India I worked as an intern on the project “Design of Feeder Network and Microstrip Patch Antenna Array for 430MHz Tropospheric Wind Profiling Radar at NARL-Indian Space Research Organization, Tirupathi, India. I have been working as an Assistant professor in Vignan’s Foundation for Science, Technology and Research since December 2019, which is situated in Andhra Pradesh, a southern state of India. Giving lectures at VFSTR for B.Tech students and educating and preparing them industry ready was one of the main responsibilities. I have taught subjects like Antenna Propagation, Optical communications, and Electronic Instrumentation. Research related softwares like HFSS, CST, ADS, and AWR for microwave active and passive components design for their Intra Disciplinary Project, Minor project component, and B.Tech Major Project Component.

In my doctoral research program I have worked on Thesis entitled “Dual Polarized Shared Aperture Antenna Array for Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar Applications” at Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, Tamilnadu, India. I have good number of SCI publications.
I took a master’s course with name Communication and Radar system at KoneruLakshmaiah Education Foundation (Deemed to be University), where I learned Radar system design requirements such as RF and Microwave active and passive componnets
In the bachelor’s degree of Electronics and Communications Engineering Itookcourses Antenna and wave propagation,Microwave Engineering, and Radar Engineering. I also designed, developed and tested the TragetGuded Antenna with Parabolic Antenna used forunauthorized entry. This project deals with analog transmission, basic electronics, microprocessors, solid state devices, digital and analog communication, analog integrated circuits, microwave engineering, satellite communication, antenna and wave progression. It also deals with the manufacturing of electronic devices, circuits, and communications equipment.
I have 7+Years of Research, Industry and Teaching experience in RF and Microwave Engineering in ECIL as a GEA where I have involved in different projects like ST-RADAR [206.5MHz] WIND PROFILING RADAR (RADAR WIND PROFILER) and RF Power Amplifiers which has the submodules like development of Sub modules for 100W Power Amplifier for UHF SATCOM RADIO. (Frequency Range-290-320MHz), development of Sub modules for 1KW VHF Power Amplifier. (Frequency Range-20-100MHz) and development and Testing of Low Pass Filters for Filter Section Unit. (Frequency Range-30-500MHz).NARL-ISRO as a Project Student and Astra Microwave Products as an Engineer where I have involved in projects like GaN Based S-Band Dual T/R Module and C-Band Transponder. I have experience on Radar systems design which includes Transmit/Receive Modules [HF, VHF, L, S& C-Band], RF & Microwave Feeder Network and Beam forming, RF & Microwave Active and passive Components (Including Filters), RF Power Amplifiers, Antenna System which includes Yagi-Uda and Microstrip Patch antenna as a Phased Array with different Configurations by using Analysis and Synthesis Techniques. His area of Research interest is Shared Aperture Antenna technology (Single layer and multilayer-L/S/C/X/K-bands) for Radar Engineering includes Airborne and Space borne Synthetic Aperture Radar and Radar Wind Profilers.

Motivation
Respected Sir/Madam,

With this letter, I would like to express my interest in studying at the Department of Electrical and Computer EngineeringFlorida International Universityas a Post-doctoral position in RF and Microwave Antenna Design.I am highly motivated for further study and research in the RF and Microwave design engineering for future communication applications. I am particularly keen to apply for this post doctoral program as its research interests are an excellent match for my academic background. After my graduation, I worked as a GEA in ECIL, India. After my tenure at ECIL I took a master program at the KLEF, vaddeswaram, India. I was introduced to mathematics and science at school and it was in senior secondary school that I well-thought-out a career in this area. I was introduced English as a course at my schooling itself as a second language. The aspiration to study the theoretical and practical importance of Communication technologies prompted me to take the B.Tech degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering. My undergraduate education has not only given me a certain set of skills but has also helped me understand my areas of interest and my academic strengths and weaknesses. This understanding has made me realize more strongly that Communication systems is my interest and strength. This led me to do the Master degree in “Communication and Radar Systems” . During my M.Tech in 2nd year, I worked as the intern Design of Feeder Network and Microstrip Patch Antenna Array for 430MHz Tropospheric Wind Profiling Radar at NARL-Indian Space Research Organization, Tirupathi, India.
I have decided to apply for this post doctoral position because I am sure it would strongly enrich my studies related to RF and Microwave Design, which requires proper designing, analysis, verification, and implementation using RF softwares like HFSS, CST, ADS and AWR Microwave Office. Moreover, I consider this program as a great opportunity to able to work in a post doctoral program which is designed to meet society’s need for the future. Florida International University provides international cutting-edge research along with the exciting and innovative environment. Also, Florida International Universityprovides a strong foundation in the research area and outstanding research environment which gives me the best possible opportunity to realize my full potential in research. The graduate program is innovative, flexible. I am certain that I have the potentials to be a good researcher. I am a creative individual and often think in a thoughtful way about various issues of practical importance. Being capable to recognize patterns and relationships that are not obvious to others is perhaps my greatest strength. This will prove very valuable because an essential part of being a researcher to perceive the balance between theory and practice with the analytical skills, and the ability for innovative thinking. Currently, I am working as an assistant professor in a deemed to be university which is situated in Andhra Pradesh, a southern state of India. By joining the Florida International University, I want to continue my career as a researcher in RF and Microwave design field. I can expand my knowledge and acquire skills in new technologies and methods that have developed in recent years. Till today I am working on different antenna models for future communication applications. I worked on shared Aperture Antenna technology for SAR Applications. I really enjoyed my Ph.D research work and I am keen to go for the next level.
