Join the Numerical Electromagnetics and Optics (NEMO) group!

To all prospective students & postdocs – please browse through this website to get a sense of the research projects worked on at NEMO.

Open positions in the group for MS/PhD for admission from July 2025

The areas of research include reconfigurable RF metasurfaces for applications in wireless networks, satellite communications, and sensing. Applicants are expected to have a strong passion for electromagnetics, good analytical skills, proficiency in programming, and an ambition for doing top quality science. The research work will involve using fullwave electromagnetic solvers and linking them with optimization (traditional or AI/ML) routines for design. The work will not be limited to theoretical/numerical studies, and will be taken all the way to fabrication and measurements.

Please follow the directions below:

1. PG students: You may apply to my group through the EE1 or EE5 streams. You must have a sound undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering to clear the test/interview process. Familiarity with scientific programming and electromagnetics is recommended. There are three programs you could apply to:

   1. MS by research program

   2. Direct PhD program (apply after a Bachelors degree)

   3. PhD program (apply after a Masters degree)

2. UG students (of IIT Madras): Contact me only in case you are looking for a technical/research oriented career, and the areas of my research interest you. It is necessary for you to have taken the Engineering Electromagnetics course (or an equivalent one), and have a good background in linear algebra.

What can you expect?

• My time

• A supportive and safe environment inclusive to all genders and backgrounds

• Rigourous training in Science and its methods

• Travel to national/international conferences to present your work

Please do not contact me for winter internships
