Leeladhar Malviya received his Ph.D from IIT Roorkee, India in 2017. He received his ME in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from Shri G. S. Institute of Technology and Science, Indore, India, in 2008, and BE in Electronics and Communication, from the Govt. Engineering College, Ujjain, India, in 1998. Since 2001, he has been with Shri G. S. Institute of Technology and Science, Indore (MP), India, and serving as an Associate Professor. His current research interests include compact multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antennas for high data rate communications for 4G, 5G, and THz planar microstrip antennas, fractal antennas, and metamaterial antennas for communication. He is a Member of IEEE, Institution of Electronics and Telecommunications Engineers (IETE, India), Institution of Engineers (IE, India), and Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE). He is the reviewer of IET (Microwaves, Antennas & Propagation - MAP), PIER (Progress In Electromagnetics Research of the Electromagnetics Academy, USA), and Int. Journal of RF and Microwave Computer Aided Engineering.

Rajib Kumar Panigrahi received PhD degree from IIT Guwahati, India in 2011. He received M. Tech. degree from CUSAT, Kerala, India and B.E. degree in Electronics and Communication from Bangalore University (Now VTU), India. Since 2012, he has been with IIT Roorkee, India, where he is currently serving as an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. His current research focuses on Radar signal processing, Radar based remote sensing, target detection, and Denoising, segmentation and classification of polarimetric SAR images, and MIMO antenna design.

Professor M.V. Kartikeyan received the Master of Science and Ph.D. Degrees specializing in Advanced Electronics and Radio Physics and Electronics Engineering from Banaras Hindu University and IIT-BHU, Varanasi, India, in 1985 and 1992, respectively. He was a Research Scientist with the Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute, Pilani, India, from 1989 to 2001. He was with Institut für Hochleistungsimpuls-und Mikrowellentechnik, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany (1996, 1998-2000, 2001-2003; and during summers in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2012). He joined the Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee, India, as an Associate Professor, in 2003, and elevated to Full-Professor in 2009. He worked as Head of the Institute Computer Center (January 2012- April 2014) and Head of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (May 2013 - February 2016). At present, Prof. Kartikeyan is working as a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati, on deputation since October 2020. He is the principal author of four books entitled: (i) Gyrotrons-High Power Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technology, (ii) Soft Computing Methods for Microwave and Millimeter Wave Design Problems, (iii) Fractal Apertures in Waveguides, Conducting Screens and Cavities-Analysis and Design, and (iv) Compact antennas for high data rate communications: Ultra-wideband (UWB) and Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technology (Springer, 2004/2012/2014/2017). His current research interests include millimeter/THz wave engineering (sources and allied components), RF Circuits, Antennas and Systems, Metamaterials and fractals in RF domain, and RF and microwave design with soft computing techniques. Prof. Kartikeyan is a Fellow of IEEE (USA), Fellow of IET (UK), Fellow of IETE (India), Fellow of IE (India), and Fellow of VEDAS (India). Prof. Kartikeyan is a recipient of the Hildegard-Maier Research Fellowship for Electrical Sciences of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (1998-2000) and the Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship (2001-2003, 2011, 2012).
