Short Biography
Dr. Payal Majumdar specializes in reviewing and drafting domestic and international patent applications in the fields of Electrical and Electronic engineering. Her area of expertise includes applicative research in Wireless Communications, Metamaterials (MTMs), Optical Physics, Antenna Design, Microstrip Antennas, Computational Electromagnetics, Radio Frequency (RF), and Microwave Design. Prior to joining the firm, Dr. Majumdar worked as a foreign expert and post-doctorate research fellow in Kuang-Chi Institute of Advanced Technology in Shenzhen, People’s Republic of China. During her tenure, she was involved in designing MTM-based absorption materials with periodic/non-periodic arrays of electric or magnetic resonant/non-resonant structures. Dr. Majumdar has strong experience in analysis, modeling, and design of Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS) and MTM based microstructures to help develop new microwave components for communication and radar systems. She completed her doctoral studies from the University of Delhi with a specialization in RF & Microwave Electronics where her research focused on analysis of basic line parameters and characteristics of different single-layer and multilayer, planar and non-planar transmission lines in order to develop CAD oriented analytical models to compute their propagation characteristics in terms of physical parameters of the lines. Dr. Majumdar has more than 10 years of research and publication experience including more than 50 publications in peer-reviewed international journals, conference proceedings and patents. Dr. Majumdar is on the review board of internationally recognized technical journals in her field of expertise and has hands-on coding, programming and simulation experience. She has presented her work around the world including USA, Canada, Germany, China, Taiwan, Singapore and India. She has been the recipient of numerous scholarships and travel grants providing for her participation in events such as the Research Opportunities Week at the Technische Universität München (TUM), Munich, Germany (2014) and IEEE International Microwave Symposium in Montreal (2012). Dr. Majumdar has been actively associated with the IEEE Houston Section and serves as the Section Committee member in “Signals & Systems” and “Women in Engineering” groups respectively. She is also actively involved with the U.S. Department of Education recognized Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) program as part of her responsibilities as an IEEE Member.
