Dr. Balaka Biswas received her B.E degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from the University of Burdwan, West Bengal and thereafter finished her masters in the year 2008. She received 1st class 1st (gold medal) in M.Tech and subsequently joined in the Ph.D program in Jadavpur University, Kolkata with DST-INSPIRE fellowship. Later, she joined CSIO-CSIR, Chandigarh as a SRA under Scientist Pool scheme and did her Post-Doc from IISER, Mohali. Currently, she is working in Chandigarh University, Mohali as an Associate Professor. She has more than 25 publications in reputed referred journals and conferences. She serves as a reviewer in several top tier journals, like- IEEE Trans. on Antenna propagation, IETE Journals, PIER-C, PIER-M, JEMWA, etc. She is life member of IETE, ISSE and Indian Science Congress Association.Ayan Karmakar received the B.Tech degree (Electronics and Communication) from WBUT, Kolkata in 2005. Later he did his masters from NIT, Durgapur. He joined ISRO as a ‘Scientist’ and subsequently posted to Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL), Chandigarh. His research interests include design and development of passive microwave integrated circuits and antennas using silicon based MIC and RF-MEMS technology. His field of expertise are expanded in fabrication technology of various MEMS based sensors and evolving the test strategies for the same. He has more than 40 publications in reputed journals and conferences at various national and international levels. In 2019, he has authored one technical book named ‘Si-RF Technology’ from Springer Publication, Singapore. He is a Fellow member of IETE, India and life member of Indian Science Congress Association, ISSE and Bangiya Bigyan Parishad.
