Biography

Dr. Raghvenda Kumar Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT), Noida. He received his Ph.D. in RF and Microwave Engineering from JIIT (2023), M.Tech in RF and Microwave Engineering from IIT Roorkee (2012-14) under an MHRD fellowship, and B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from GBTU, Lucknow (2008-12). He began his academic career at Teerthanker Mahaveer University, Moradabad (2014-17) before joining JIIT in 2017.

With over 11 years of experience, he has been actively engaged in teaching, research, curriculum design and key administrative responsibilities, thereby fostering the holistic growth of the department and the institute. He played a key role in establishing the Anechoic Chamber facility (up to 40 GHz) at JIIT, Noida significantly strengthening research infrastructure. He has also played key role in organizing International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication (ICSC 2018-24) as Publicity Chair. Alongside academics, he has contributed to numerous institutional roles, including Resident Hostel Warden, Faculty-in-Charge of Horticulture, Annapurna & Café, OBE Module Coordinator, Industrial Training Coordinator, Minor Project Coordinator, Members of GATE Mock Test Committee, IQAC Audit Committee, and NAAC Committee.

Dr. Singh is a Senior Member of IEEE, Life Member of IETE and WAMS, and an active member of IEEE Young Professionals, IEEE AP, MTT, and EMC societies. He serves as Faculty Advisor of the IEEE MTT-S Student Branch Chapter at JIIT Noida. He has chaired sessions, mentored students, and delivered invited talks at various professional forums.

Research Highlights

Dr. Singh has published over 30 research papers in reputed journals and conferences, with interests spanning metamaterial-inspired antennas, metasurface absorbers, microwave filters, polarization converters, THz sensors, and wearable antennas. He has supervised numerous undergraduate projects that have resulted in publications in reputed journals, including Materials Research Express, International Journal of Antennas and Propagation, Radio Science, and International Journal of Microwave & Wireless Technologies, as well as in leading conferences such as ICSC, InCAP, WAMS, and MAPCON. He has established strong research collaborations with leading researchers from premier institutions, including Dr. Somak Bhattacharyya (IIT BHU, Varanasi), Dr. Utpal Dey (IIT Roorkee), and Dr. Rajan Agrahari (NIT Patna), which has significantly enhanced the quality and impact of his research outcomes. Notable search contributions include:

  • Designed and experimentally validated a microwave filter exhibiting a unique combination of low-pass characteristics with three distinct band-pass responses, establishing a novel filtering approach.
  • Achieved significant enhancement in MIMO antenna performance through the integration of a polarization control device.
  • Developed numerous advanced microwave absorbers with potential applications in stealth defense systems.
  • Designed a highly sensitive metasensor capable of detecting cancers, tumors, viruses, tuberculosis, malaria, hemoglobin levels in blood, and glucose concentration in water.
  • Successfully demonstrated a planar antenna with improved gain and bandwidth using metamaterial-inspired techniques.
  • Successfully completed a funded project on the design and development of metasurface-based multifunctional polarization converters for satellite, defense, and industry applications

He is an active reviewer for more than 15 leading journals, including IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, Scientific Reports, and ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. He has also served as reviewer for major IEEE conferences such as InCAP, MAPCON, WAMS, and SPACE.
