Early Life and Education[edit]
Govind Rangaswamy Kadambi was born in Thorapalli, Tamil Nadu. His early schooling was in St. Charles’ School, Bhadravati and Silver Jubilee Higher Secondary School, Bhadravati. He was a Pre-University student at Sahyadri College, Shimoga. He studied at Malnad College of Engineering, Hassan and graduated with a B.E in Electronics and Communication from University of Mysore. He pursued the research on Reflector and Horn Antennas in Indian Institute of Technology Madras at Chennai, India for his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.
Career[edit]
Prof. Kadambi began his career as a Research Assistant in Radar and Communication Centre, IIT Kharagpur between 1979-81. He later worked as Project Scientist and Senior Project Officer at Centre for Systems and Devices, IIT Madras between the years 1981-89. He was with Aeronautical Development Agency, Bangalore serving as a Scientist ‘C’ and subsequently Scientist ’D’ in Technology Development directorate of the LCA Programme. He then worked in SG Microwaves, Kitchener, Canada as a Technical Staff before working as RF Engineer and Senior RF Engineer at Centurion Wireless Technologies, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. It was during this time he developed a special interest in Planar Inverted F Antenna with 19 patents to his credit in this domain alone, earning him a nickname amongst his friends and colleagues as “The PIFA Man”. He later worked as Engineering Manager at Interdigital Communications Corporation, Melbourne, Florida, USA for 2 years before returning to India in 2006. In 2006 he joined M.S. Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies (MSRSAS), Bengaluru as a Professor. He has held a number of posts in this institution as a HOD, Dept. of Electronics and Communication. Dean- Research, Deputy Director (Academics), Dean-Post Graduate Engineering and Management Programme (PEMP). With the formation of M.S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (MSRUAS) in 2014, Prof. Kadambi is serving as Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research). During his tenure at MSRSAS and MSRUAS, he has undertaken the collaborative research investigation and the completion of many sponsored research projects funded by Government of India including:
- Development of Optic Flow Algorithms for Obstacle Avoidance and Autonomous Navigation of Micro Air Vehicles
- Design and Simulation of Digital Beamforming transceiver System
