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, transcripts, 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.
