Jayakrishnan M. Purushothama is an Assistant Professor in the Microwave and Antenna Engineering Research Group at Heriot-Watt University's School of Engineering and Physical Sciences since March 2023. Previously, he held roles including Post-Doctoral Researcher (2019–2021) and Ph.D. scholar (2016–2019) at Université Grenoble Alpes, and Research Fellow (2014–2016) at Cochin University of Science and Technology.
Education:
- B.Sc. (Electronics) & M.Sc. (Electronics Science), Mahatma Gandhi University & Cochin University of Science and Technology (2012–2014), both with first rank honours.
- Ph.D. (RF and Microwave Electronics Engineering), Université Grenoble Alpes (2019).
Research interests focus on microwave antennas, beamforming, chipless RFID systems, CBRAM-based RF switches, medical biosensors, and electromagnetic compatibility. His work emphasizes reconfigurable systems, energy efficiency, and non-volatile memory applications in passive devices.
Awards include the URSI Young Scientist Award (2020), 4th Prize in URSI Student Competition (2018), and UGC NET/JRF qualification (top 0.6% in 2013).
Grants include ERC-funded ScattererID project (2019–2021) developing CBRAM-based RF switches. His lab explores innovations in antenna engineering, RF materials, and wearable electronics.
Key contributions include reconfigurable antennas, low-cost RFID tags, and metamaterial-based shielding solutions.
