Ph.D. Students: I am looking for motivated PhD students interested in communication systems, networks, and information processing, broadly defined. Research topics span wireless communications, optical/fiber systems, physical-layer security, coding and modulation, information theory, signal processing for communications, and learning-inspired communication methods. Projects involve modeling, analysis, and system-level understanding, with flexibility to balance theory, simulation, and applications depending on the student’s background. Students from ECE/EE, Applied Mathematics, or related areas are encouraged to apply. Interested candidates may email a CV, grades, and a brief note on their interests to me at vramachandran[AT]ece[dot]iitkgp[dot]ac[dot]in. The advertisement is open throughout the year.
M.Tech./B.Tech. Students: If you are a Masters/Bachelors student at IIT Kharagpur and would like to do your M.Tech/B.Tech thesis projects with me, feel free to reach out to me at vramachandran[AT]ece[dot]iitkgp[dot]ac[dot]in.
Postdoctoral Fellows: I welcome discussions on hosting postdocs supported by various national schemes such as ANRF-National Postdoctoral Fellowship (NPDF) (open throughout the year), as well as IIT Kharagpur Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship (IPDF). If you are interested to join my group, please contact at least a couple of weeks before the relevant fellowship application starts. Please email me at vramachandran[AT]ece[dot]iitkgp[dot]ac[dot]in with your CV and cover letter. For more details about NPDF, please visit the official page here, and for IITKGP IPDF, here.
Project Staff: I have an ongoing ANRF research project. Openings for Junior and Senior Research Fellows and Research Associates will be announced here once the project registration is completed at IIT Kharagpur. Write to me in advance to register your interest.
