Department Of Electrical Engineering
Telecom and Wireless Sensing (TelWiSe)
Wireless communications and Wireless Sensing use Signal Processing techniques that are quite similar and employ waveforms and systems design approaches that can wisely borrow from the best practises in both these areas.
Integrated Circuits and Systems
Our faculty and students are involved in research in the areas of analog, mixed signal, and RF design, analysis and simulation of noise in circuits, VLSI DSP architectures, and reconfigurable computing.
Power Electronics, Machines and Drives Laboratory
The Power Electronics and Machines Laboratory comprises of teaching and research labs. The facility was established in the early 1960s as a Machines Laboratory. Faculty associated with the laboratory started working on power electronics and motor drives as power electronics gained prominence. Over the years, the faculty associated with the lab have contributed
RF+Photonics Research Group
The Desphande Centre for Communication Networks (formerly known as the Centre for Intelligent Optical Networks) houses a variety of research laboratories, employing both staff and students. The laboratories house state of the art experiments such as the 5G testbed, Coherent Optical Communications, Quantum Key Distribution, and even a LIGO-India interferometer.
Measurements & Instrumentation Laboratory
MI Lab works in the following areas: 1. Biomedical: Devices, Instrumentation, Imaging, Image Processing and bio-signal processing. 2. Measurements,.
Communications Networks
Performance of telecommunication Networks in layer 2 & 3 in general: TDM over PSNs, Access, Metro solutions like, RPR, PoN and Carrier Ethernet Technologies. IP over WDM, RWA, LTD and grooming problems in WDM optical networks.
Image Processing and Computer Vision lab
Image processing concerns image properties and image-to-image transformations, whereas the main target of computer vision is the 3-D world. As most computer vision algorithms require some form of image processing, the overlap between the two areas is significant. The contours of the two also blend into those of robotics, signal processing, pattern recognition, control theory, artificial intelligence and other fields.
Microelectronics and MEMS laboratory
Microelectronics and MEMS Lab is well-equipped for semiconductor device and MEMS fabrication, characterization, modeling and simulation. It has Class-100 and Class-1000 clean rooms which house the major facilities that include a Mask writer, double-sided lithography facility, substrate bond aligner, LPCVD for polysilicon deposition, PECVD for dielectrics, diffusion furnaces, e-beam metallization unit and RIE for dry etching. DC and RF probe stations, parametric analyzer and LCR meter are used for electrical characterization, while a non-contact surface profiler and ellipsometer are used for process characterization.

Control and Optimization
The group aims to perform quality and impactful research in the fundamental areas of Control and Optimization and also in the emerging subdisciplines that lie at the ever- expanding intersection of these areas. Along with theoretical research, the group looks to explore industrial applications and real-time implementation of the developed methods on hardware platforms. Various theoretical, applied and laboratory-based courses are being offered by the group, which have been carefully designed to build a foundation in control and optimization andlead the students to the state of the art.
Networks and Stochastic Systems Laboratory
The laboratory and research team is guided by Prof. Krishna Jagannathan
