Dr. Sanjay Raman Program Manager
Sanjay Raman received his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (with Highest Honor) from Georgia Tech in 1987. From 1987-1992 he served as a nuclear trained submarine officer with the U.S. Navy. During this time he was primarily responsible for the safe and efficient operation of a Sturgeon-class fast attack submarine and its S5W nuclear reactor. During this period he was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal (1991) and Navy Achievement Medal (2 awards, 1990 and 1992), as well as various unit awards.
Following his tour of duty with the Navy, he returned to graduate school at the University of Michigan and received a master's degree in Electrical Engineering in 1993. He completed his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Michigan in 1998 in the area of novel millimeter-wave integrated antennas and electronics
Dr. Raman joined the faculty of the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech in January 1998 as an Assistant Professor, and he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2004. Dr. Raman's research interests include: RF/microwave/millimeter-wave integrated circuits and antennas; high-speed/mixed-signal ICs and SoC integration; interconnects and packaging; RF MEMS/NEMS and MEMS sensors; micromachining, solid-state technology, and nanotechnology; and integrated wireless communications and sensor microsystems. He has over 70 publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences, one book chapter, and a number of other invited and workshop presentations in these research areas. He has also graduated over 20 M.S. and Ph.D. students who have taken positions throughout the RF and electronics industries. His programmatic interests at DARPA include silicon-based millimeter-wave transceivers, adaptive RF/mixed-signal ICs, and integrated/smart antennas.
Dr. Raman has been serving as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques since 2005. He also currently serves on the technical program committee of the IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium. His academic honors include: 2007 Virginia Tech College of Engineering Faculty Fellow Award; 2000 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) (1999 NSF CAREER Award); and 1996-97 Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) Postgraduate Fellowship.
