Krishna Agarwal

Krishna Agarwal(OSA Senior Member, URSI Senior Member) received her Ph.D from National University of Singapore in the year 2011 and B.Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad, India, in 2003. She has received the "Distinguished Alumnus Award" from Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad India for the year 2020. She was awarded the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship for the year 2017-2019 and is currently a Professor at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. She was awarded the "Young Scientist Award" by Union Radio Scientifique Internationale (URSI) in the year 2011. She was a post-doctoral associate at Singapore-MIT Alliance research & Technology Centre since 2014 to 2016. She was a research fellow at National University of Singapore from 2010 to 2014. She was a Scientist at the Defence Research and Development Organization, India, from 2003 to 2006 and worked towards the development of the front end of the active phased array radars. 

She currently is a tenured professor in the Department of Physics and Technology at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. She also serves as an associate editor in IEEE TGRS.  She leads several EU and RCN projects as a principal investigator or co-investigator, having raised funds of ~10 MEuros. Her current research interests are computational nanoscopy, super-resolution imaging, and inverse problems.
