Dr. Abhay Kumar

Biography

Dr. Abhay Kumar is currently serving as an Assistant Professor (Senior Grade) in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT), Noida. He has over 11 years of academic teaching experience along with 2 years of industrial research experience.

He completed his Ph.D. from JIIT Noida, specializing in Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) antennas, with applications in X, Ku, and K bands. He holds an M.Tech. in Communication Engineering from the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Allahabad (2014), where he was awarded the Institute Gold Medal, and a B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering from JSS Academy of Technical Education, Noida (2010). 

Dr. Kumar’s research interests span diverse and interdisciplinary domains, including Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology, antenna, filter, and microwave component design for X, Ku, and K bands, microwave circuits and systems, embedded and electronic system design, robotics and soft computing, as well as speech and audio signal processing. He has taught a wide spectrum of undergraduate and postgraduate courses such as Introduction to IoT, Microprocessors and Microcontrollers, DSP, Radar Signals and Systems, Electromagnetic Theory, Antenna and Wave Propagation, RF and Microwave Engineering, and Advanced Embedded Systems. He has significantly contributed to establishing advanced laboratories at JIIT, including the Robotics and AI Lab (Sector 62), e-Yantra Robotics Lab (with IIT Bombay under MHRD), IoT Lab, and RF and Anechoic Chamber Lab (Sector 128). He also serves as Program Coordinator for Robotics and AI, IEEE Student Branch Counselor, and member of IIC and ICC, and has received prestigious national awards and recognitions.

Research Highlights

Dr. Kumar’s core research focuses on Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology, antenna, filter, and microwave component design for X, Ku, and K bands, microwave circuits and systems, embedded systems and electronic system design, robotics and soft computing, as well as speech and audio signal processing. His notable contributions include innovative techniques to achieve high gain and enhanced bandwidth in high-frequency antennas through optimized SIW structures, advanced feeding mechanisms, and MIMO configurations. He has also explored the application of microwave sensing techniques for detecting impurities and adulteration in edible oils, demonstrating the potential of electromagnetic characterization for quality assessment in the food industry. His research has practical and strategic applications, including the development of an X-band radar antenna for human intrusion detection at border areas in collaboration with Traana Technologies under a consultancy project. Dr. Kumar has successfully executed several funded projects, such as the design of a short-range high-gain MIMO antenna for X-band radar surveillance applications (Traana Technologies), development of a Python-based software interface to control peripherals connected to Arduino Mega hardware for odor sample collection (ESNIFF Devices Private Limited, Noida), and the development of an SIW-based sensor for detecting adulteration in edible oil and honey at JIIT Noida, reflecting strong industry and societal impact.
