Welcome to the Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) at IIT Kanpur. The EE department is one of the oldest departments at IIT Kanpur. It was one of the first five departments with which IIT Kanpur started in 1960. Subsequently, the Advanced Centre for Electronics Systems (ACES) came into existence in early 1970 by a grant from the Ministry of Defence to undertake manpower training and to carry out research and development related to defense. Subsequently, several sponsored projects in many subject areas with large interdisciplinary content were handled through ACES. ACES is now an integral part of the EE department and houses the majority of EE laboratories and facilities. The department is currently the largest multidisciplinary department at IIT Kanpur. It covers practically all sub-disciplines in Electrical and Communication Engineering including Power Systems, Power Electronics, Microwaves, RF techniques, Microelectronics, VLSI, Photonics, Control Systems, Robotics, Speech, and Audio Processing, Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Wireless Communication, Computer Networks, Future wireless networks like 5G/6G, Wireless sensor networks, and IoT networks.

Dr. Meena Mishra, Outstanding Scientist and Director of the Solid State Physics Laboratory (SSPL), DRDO will be the chief guest for the EE department for 58th Convocation
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Meena Mishra, Outstanding Scientist and Director of the Solid State Physics Laboratory (SSPL), DRDO, will be the Guest of Honor at this year’s Department Convocation.
Dr. Meena Mishra assumed the charge as Director of SSPL with effect from 1st October 2023. She earned her Ph.D. from Jamia Millia Islamia in 2005 and her M.Sc. in Electronics from Delhi University South Campus in 1988. She began her career at SSPL in 1989 as Scientist 'B' and rose through the ranks to become an Outstanding Scientist / Scientist ‘H’ in 2022.
Over the course of more than 34 years, she has made significant contributions to semiconductor research and has been instrumental in the indigenous development of GaAs and GaN-based MMIC technologies for strategic applications. Her research expertise spans GaAs MESFET-based MMICs, GaAs-based digital integrated circuits, and the modeling, characterization, and design of high-frequency devices using GaAs and GaN technologies.
As the Technology Director for GaN MMICs, SAW sensors, and acoustic sensors, she has guided multiple teams in the successful development of cutting-edge technologies for defense applications. She led the project team that achieved the indigenous development of GaN MMIC technology up to X-band applications. In parallel, she also directed the successful development of wideband C–Ku band TR front-end chips and core chips for electronic warfare systems, as well as Ku-band TR front-end chips for RF seeker applications.
In her current role as Director of SSPL, Dr. Mishra leads seven technology verticals that include single crystal bulk growth, epilayer growth, single-emitter laser diodes, infrared imaging sensors, MEMS and sensor technologies, terahertz systems, and quantum technologies. Under her leadership, the laboratory has earned wide recognition for delivering indigenous technologies to user laboratories, facilitating technology transfers to production agencies, and fostering active collaborations with industry and academia. She continues to lead efforts to indigenize several state-of-the-art technologies that are critical for strategic national applications.
Dr. Mishra has authored over 120 publications in national and international journals, conferences, and workshops. Her contributions have been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the DRDO Outstanding Teamwork Award in 1999 for the development of GaAs MMIC technology, and the DRDO Pathbreaking Research / Outstanding Technology Development Award in 2016 for the development of AlGaN/GaN HEMT technology.
We are honored to welcome Dr. Meena Mishra as the Guest of Honor and look forward to her presence and inspiring address at the convocation ceremony.
