About

Sudip Biswas (Member, IEEE) received a Ph.D. in digital communications from the University of Edinburgh (UEDIN), U.K., in 2017. From 2017 to 2019, he worked as a Research Associate with the Institute of Digital Communications, UEDIN, on optimization and signal processing for 5G and beyond communications. He also has industrial experience with Tata Consultancy Services, India (Lucknow and Kolkata), where he was an Assistant Systems Engineer from 2010 to 2012. He currently works as an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering at the Indian Institute of Information Technology Guwahati (IIITG). He is an editor for IEEE Transactions on Green Communications (TGCN). He was a member of the Conference Organizing Committee of the IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC), held in Edinburgh in 2016. He has been on the Technical Program Committee (TPC) of “Selected Areas in Communications: Machine Learning for Communications” in IEEE GLOBECOM 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. He was also a TPC member of IEEE ICC 2022 for the “Full-duplex Communications” track. He has previously been involved in two EU FP7 projects, a DST UKIERI project, and an EPSRC project. He is currently leading three SERB projects, one DST (GITA: Indo-Taiwan) project, and one SPARC (UKIERI) project as PI and one IBITF (TSP) project as Co-PI. Furthermore, he also received the SERB Accelerate Vigyan Karyashala grant in 2022 and Vritika grant in 2024. He is the Coordinator of the MoU (IIITG/NSYSU 20200728) signed between IIIT Guwahati, and National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan and the MoU (IIITG/"n+i" 20191115) signed between IIIT Guwahati and "n+i", France. At IIIT Guwahati, he is currently In-charge of the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Cell.

    • Open Positions

    • 1: Interns: Short 2-3 months internships for under-grads/ Post-grads are available. If you are interested, then send an email with the subject “Internship:(duration):(interest) or (prev. experience)”

    • 2: UG Researchers: These are at least 1-year long projects. If you are an under-grad student and can commit for atleast one year full-time (can be six-nine months full time and remaining with course work) project work, then you can contact me. If interested then send me an email with subject “UG Researcher: (interests):(programming languages)”, for example “UG Researcher: (MobileApp, Signal Processing):(Matlab/Python/C++/C)” OR If you have an idea or interests then too you can contact me.

    • 3. Research Assistant: These are typically 1-2 years projects. If you graduated from one of the top colleges in India or abroad or are simply bored with your current job and/or would like to build up a CV for applying abroad for higher studies, then you are welcome to apply. This requires longer commitment for at least a year to two.

    • 4. PhD Student: These positions are typically between 3-5 years long, depending on research outcomes, prior qualification and experience. If you enjoy working hard, you like a challenge, and it makes you happy when you deliver, then PhD is right for you. Funding opportunities are often advertised on the institututes website. However, self-financed or people who have external funding from other government/ private agencies are also eligible to apply.

    • NB: Performance oriented fundings (through collaborators) may be available for researchers involved in projects of typically 4-6 months duration. For more information, send an email stating your interest (from the above) along with your CV.
