Dr. Venkat Roy earned his Master of Technology (M. Tech) degree with distinction in Radio Physics and Electronics from the University of Calcutta, India. In 2011, he was awarded the prestigious “Erasmus Mundus Mobility for Life” scholarship, funded by the European Commission, which enabled him to study for a year at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands. During this time, he received the Best Student Paper Award at the 18th IEEE Symposium on Communications and Vehicular Technology in Benelux, held in Ghent, Belgium. Dr. Roy completed his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Delft University of Technology in 2018, where he also collaborated closely with the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut (KNMI)), Utrecht, The Netherlands. Following his doctoral studies, he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA, contributing to a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded project in the Department of Electrical Engineering. Dr. Roy has over five years of industry experience, having served as a senior engineer and technical lead in automotive radar signal processing. He has worked with leading organizations including NXP Semiconductors in Eindhoven, The Netherlands; Uhnder Inc. in Toronto, Canada; and Continental Automotive in Bengaluru, India. Since December, 2025, Dr. Roy has been a research scientist at the 6G Mobile Research Lab within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic. His research interests span wireless communication, statistical signal processing, inverse problems, compressed sensing, machine learning, environmental signal processing, and radar signal processing.
