Prof. Dr. Sai Kiran Oruganti is with the School of Electrical and Automation Engineering, Jiangxi
University of Science and Technology, Ganzhou, People's Republic of China as a full Professor since
October 2019. He is responsible for establishing an advanced wireless power transfer technology
laboratory as a part of the international specialists team for the Center for Advanced Wirless
Technologies. Between 2018-2019, he served as a senior researcher/Research Professor at Ulsan
National Institute of Science and Technology. Previously, his PhD thesis at Ulsan National Institute
of Science and Technology, South korea, led to the launch of an University incubated enterprise, for
which he served as a Principal Engineer and Chief Designer in 2017-2018. After his PhD in 2016,
he served Indian Institute of Technology, Tirupati in the capacity of Assistant Professor (Electrical
Engineering) between 2016-2017. His prime research focus is in the development of Wireless Power Transfer(WPT) for applications- Internet of Things (IoT) device charging, Agriculture, Electric Vehicle Charging,
Biomedical device charging, Electromagnetically induced transparancy techniques for military and
defence applications, Secured shipping containers, Nano Energy Generators. Prof. Dr. Oruganti has more than 21 patents pending on his credit and with several of those patent applications passing the NoC stage. As of 2021, 16 of 21 patents have been granted. He is credited with the pioneering work in the field of Zenneck Waves based Wireless Power Transfer system. Most notably, he has been regarded as one of the only few researchers in the field of WPT to be able to conduct power and signal transmission across partial Faraday shields. His recent paper accepted by Nature Scientific Reports has generated a lot of interest and excitement in the field. International Union of Radio Science(URSI) recognized his research efforts and awarded him Young Scientist Award in 2016. He is also recipient of IEEE sensors council letters of appreciation.

Dr. Sudeshna Ray's research at the interface of Chemistry and Material Science is focused on the development of Novel Inorganic based Luminescent materials for the application in white Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and as Spectral Converters in Solar Cell. The novel materials can be a single composition multi-centred phosphor or near UV/blue excitable blue, green, yellow and red emitting phosphor. The utilization of 'Green' solution based Synthesis Methodology for the precise control of the composition of the phosphors and achievement of a homogenous distribution of small amounts of activators in the host compounds is the main paradigm of my Research. In addition, to my previous focus on Synthesis, Characterization and Optical studies of size and shape tuned nanocrystalline Y2O3, YVO4 and YPO4 based phosphors, I am extensively involved into the research for the development of Advanced Luminescence Materials so called Quantum Cutters for the application in Solar Cell. A unifying theme of my research is the compositional tuning of the properties of extended solids through solid solution; sometimes referred to as the game of x and y, as, for example, in Sr2(1-x-y/2)Eu2xLaySi1-yAlyO4. Design of New phosphor for LEDs and fabrication of LEDs using the phosphors is an integral part of my Research. Currently, I am involved in the synthesis of Persistent Phosphors for the fabrication of Glow Bullet for Defense Application. RESEARCH INTERESTS .
