BALAMATI CHOUDHURY DR

Dr Balamati Choudhury is working as a Scientist at Centre for Electromagnetics of CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore, India. She obtained her MTech. (ECE) degree from National Institute of Science and Technology, India and Ph.D. (Engg.) degree in Microwave Engineering from Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT), India in 2013. During the period of 2006-2008, she was a Senior Lecturer in Department of Electronics and Communication at NIST, Orissa India.

Her active areas of research is on development of high frequency based RCS estimation towards low RCS design of electrically very large structures. More specifically, the topics of the sponsored projects she has contributed to are, development of High Frequency Ray Tracing Techniques towards RF Analysis of Propagation in an Indoor Environment, Low RCS design of aerospace structures, Soft computing based multidisciplinary optimization towards stealth technologies those includes shaping and RAM/RAS materials.

Her other expertise and teaching interests are in the domain of: Soft Computing Techniques in Electromagnetic Design and Optimization, Computational Electromagnetics for Aerospace Applications, Metamaterial Design Applications, RF and Microwaves, Conformal Antennas. She was receipient of ICCCES/ Outstanding Young Investigator Award for the year 2016-2017 for her contributions in Metamaterial Science. She was also the recipient of the CSIR-NAL Young Scientist Award for the year 2013-2014 for her contribution in the area of Computational Electromagnetics for Aerospace Applications.

Dr. Balamati has authored or co-authored over 150 scientific research papers and technical reports, besides two books, five Springer Briefs and three book chapters. The book entitled: Soft Computing in Electromagnetics: Methods and Applications have been published by the Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK (2015). Another Book “Metamaterial Inspired Electromagnetic Applications: Role of Intelligent Systems” has been published by Springer, Singapore. She was the author of five SpringerBriefs published by Springer, Germany which covers all the cutting edge technologies such as Terahertz technology, invisibility cloaking and HF ray based methods for space applications. She has also book chapters in a monograph entitled: Recent Advances in Metamaterial Science and Technology (Tech Science Press, USA, 2015), which is in press.

 Dr. Balamati is also an Assistant Professor of the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), New Delhi, which is a university constituted by an act of Indian Parliament.
