Debatosh Guha is a Professor in Radio Physics and Electronics, University of Calcutta having more than thirty years’ experience in academic cum translational research, teaching, and administration. He served the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Khargapur as the HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) Chair Professor (2015-2016).
He received the BTech, MTech, and PhD degrees from the University of Calcutta in 1986, 1988, and 1994 respectively and had undertaken his post-doctoral research at the Royal Military College of Canada (the Canadian Defense University), Kingston, Ontario. He has made fundamental contributions to planar antenna techniques for the new generation radar, sensor, and communication systems.
He is a Fellow of IEEE and is also a Fellow of all four Indian National Academies for Science and Engineering which include INSA (Indian National Science Academy), IASc (Indian Academy of Sciences), NASI (The National Academy of Sciences, India), and INAE (Indian National Academy of Engineering). He is a recipient of the Abdul Kalam Technology Innovation National Fellowship, Govt. of India (2020), and also the prestigious J. C. Bose Grant, Govt. of India in 2025.
About 100 journal articles are to his credit, the majority of which appeared in IEEE Transactions and Letters. He has contributed a few feature articles to IEEE Magazines projecting deeper scientific insights into some engineering problems of common interests. He has authored and co-authored nearly 150 conference papers and 2 reference books on planar antennas. Many of his works have been featured in renowned textbooks and handbooks on antenna engineering.
Deabatosh over the last two decades has mentored a large group of doctoral, post-doctoral, and master’s students who have been well established across the globe in top Industries, R&D organizations, and leading Universities in India, Europe, and North America. His current research group comprises both full-time and part-time researchers along with vibrant collaborators from ISRO, HCL Technologies, University of Glasgow, and a limited cluster of his former students. They are exploring innovative approaches to solve a wide range multiple industry oriented challenges starting from 4G/5G base-station antenna structures to compact space borne beam shaping antenna systems.
