S. Raman PhD (Sujith)

Dr. Sujith Raman is an Assistant Professor in the Radio Systems group at the University of Twente, The Netherlands. His work focuses on microwave antennas, near‑field sensing and sustainable electromagnetics, with a  particular emphasis on biodegradable microwave devices and smart antenna systems for next generation communication and sensing.

He holds degrees in Microwave Electronics and completed his Ph.D. in microwave and antenna engineering, working on advanced compact antenna architectures and material characterization for high‑performance RF systems. . After his PhD, he gained research and teaching experience in Ireland, Sweden, India and Switzerland. Building on academic positions in India and Europe, including appointments at EPFL and the University of Twente, he has developed a profile at the intersection of antenna design, microwave sensors and emerging sustainable materials.

Dr. Raman’s research contributions span antenna design and measurement, microwave material characterization and near‑field microwave sensing for biomedical, environmental and industrial applications. He has authored over 100 peer reviewed publications in these areas and also contributed to microwave sensing and on biodegradable microwave device concepts. He has received two URSI Young Scientist Awards (2011, 2017), and his supervision portfolio includes two PhD theses, one MPhil thesis and 21 master’s theses. Dr Raman has completed more than 240 peer reviews and received the IEEE Publication Award in 2021. He is a recipient of an MSCA Individual Fellowship (2021) and a Senior  Member of both IEEE(2019 onwards) and URSI(2021), with a strong interdisciplinary track record.

At Twente, he teaches and coordinates the master course Smart Antennas, covering antenna theory, array beamforming, RF aspects such as mutual coupling and calibration, and state‑of‑the‑art antenna simulation and measurement techniques, including far‑field and compact antenna test range measurements. He supervises Bachelor’s and Master’s theses on topics such as microwave antennas, microwave sensors and antennas on biodegradable substrates. He is currently mentoring one PhD candidate, two Master’s students, and three Bachelor’s students.

Dr. Raman’s long‑term vision is to help establish sustainable electromagnetics as a new research direction—bridging advanced antenna and microwave engineering with biodegradable materials and design principles. His goal is to enable future wireless and sensing systems that deliver high performance while leaving a minimal environmental footprint, and to train a new generation of engineers who can connect rigorous electromagnetics with real world societal impact.
