Dr. Surajit Kundu serves as an Assistant Professor Grade-I in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur. He obtained his B.Tech degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering in 2009, M.Tech from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 2012, and Ph.D. from the same department in 2017. A Senior Member of IEEE (SMIEEE), Senior Member of URSI (SMURSI), and Life Senior Member of WAMS, his research interests include antenna engineering, Internet of Things (IoT), satellite communication, ultra-wideband antennas, metamaterial-based antennas, frequency selective surfaces, MIMO antennas, electromagnetic band gap structures, AMC surfaces, mmWave antennas, and microwave sensors.
Since joining NIT Jamshedpur as Assistant Professor on September 30, 2022, Dr. Kundu has led funded research projects as Principal Investigator, including SERB-DST Core Research Grant in 2023, HEFA CSR-sponsored project in 2025, and JCSTI project. He has coordinated workshops on emerging trends in metamaterial-based antennas for microwave, millimeter-wave, and THz applications, as well as concepts and applications of GIS, remote sensing, and GNSS. Dr. Kundu contributes to institutional governance through roles in the Anti-Ragging Committee, Convocation Committees, and as Associate Dean for exams. He has delivered invited talks, such as at GLA University, presented at conferences including MAPCON-2023 in Ahmedabad, and facilitated collaborations like the MoU between NIT Jamshedpur and IIT Roorkee for joint research and academic activities.
Dr. Kundu's scholarly contributions comprise over 90 publications with more than 1,100 citations on ResearchGate. Representative works include "Design and Analysis of a Quad-Port Dual-Band MIMO Antenna for Sub-6 GHz and Ka-Band Applications" (2025), "Lightweight ultra-wideband antenna array equipped with thin frequency selective surface for high-gain applications" (2022), and "Evaluating the Enhanced MADOCA PPP Service Using Multi-GNSS Observations" (2026). His research advances key areas in wireless communications and RF technologies.
