University of Queensland

Biography

Shantanu received his Ph.D in Electronic Science (Microwave Engineering) from University of Delhi, India in 1999. His doctoral thesis focussed on novel design of planar antennas for mobile communication system. He held a visiting research appointment with Wireless Research Group (WSG), School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (former School of CSEE/ELEC), University of Queensland, Brisbane in 1997. During his stay in Brisbane, he was working on vehicle mounted antennas for mobile communication system. In 1998 he was working as consultant to SB Electromechanicals Pvt. Ltd and Astra Microwave Pvt. Ltd on design development of phased array antenna for radar level gauge instrument. He was also involved on the development of Ku-band ridged horn antenna for satellite and terrestrial communication link. In 1999 he joined Global Positioning System Centre (currently PWTC), School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, where he was actively involved in the design and development of MEMS antennas and filters for the millimetre-band MEMS RF-Identification Tag (MEMSAT), which was a strategic research project funded by NSTB (currently A*Star), Singapore. During this time he was also involved in other projects; (i) development of RFID system at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz band, (ii) photonic bandgap and (iii) planar antenna array for VSAT applications and (iv) on-wafer RF measurement system upto 110 GHz. The research work results successful lunching of prototypes of RFID system at 2.4 GHz band. In 2002 Shantanu joins Molecular Science division of CSIRO, Melbourne, where he was involved in various projects ; (i) Fractal polymer RFID, (ii) low cost and flexible tag, and (iii) organic electronics. His main research was focussed on covert and overt security features, organic electronics, conducting Polymer, organic diodes, flexible RFID and conducting ink. He joins CSSIP (CRC-SSIP) in 2004 and was working on Microwave imaging of Breast cancer project. Currently he is involved in ARC project Target identification with Ultra-wideband Polarimetric Radar. His current research activities includes, design and development of low profile antenna system for UWB communication system, fractal antenna for RFID, time domain near-field and far-field antenna measurements, resonance based target identification, tumor detection and microwave imaging. He has published one book chapter and more than 60 referred articles in journals and conferences.
