Kaushik Sengupta

Kaushik Sengupta Kaushik Sengupta (M'12) received the B.Tech. and M.Tech. degrees in electronics and electrical communication engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India, both in 2007, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degreesin electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA, in 2008 and 2012, respectively. In February 2013, he joined the faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA. During his undergraduate studies, in the summers of 2005 and 2006, he performed research at the University of Southern California and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he was involved with nonlinear integrated systems for high-purity signal generation and low-power RF identification (RFID) tags, respectively. His research interests are in the areas of high-frequency integrated circuits (ICs), electromagnetics, optics for various applications in sensing, imaging, and high-speed communication.

Dr. Sengupta was the recipient of the IBM Ph.D. fellowship (2011-2012), the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Predoctoral Achievement Award (2012), the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Graduate Fellowship (2012), and the Analog Devices Outstanding Student Designer Award (2011). He was the recipient of the Charles Wilts Prize in 2013 from Electrical Engineering, Caltech for outstanding independent research in electrical engineering leading to a PhD. He was also the recipient of the Prime Minister Gold Medal Award of IIT (2007), the Caltech Institute Fellowship, the Most Innovative Student Project Award of the Indian National Academy of Engineering (2007), and the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Undergraduate Fellowship (2006). He serves on the Technical Program Committee of the European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC). He was selected in "Princeton Engineering Commendation List for Outstanding Teaching" in 2014. He was the co-recipient of the IEEE RFIC Symposium Best Student Paper Award in 2012 and 2015 IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) Microwave Prize.
