Dr. Pritam Nikam

About

I am an accomplished academician and researcher with over 14 years of experience in teaching and administration in the field of Electronics and Communication Engineering. Completed my Ph.D. from Mizoram University and a Master's degree in Microwave Engineering from PICT, Pune. My primary research interests include microstrip antennas, microwave communication, reconfigurable antenna design, and hybrid antenna technologies, with more than 20 publications across SCI/Scopus journals, conferences, and a published book.

I have served in various responsible roles such as NAAC/NBA Coordinator, Examination Department Coordinator, Assistant Registrar, and BoS/BoE member, demonstrating strong leadership in academic operations. Proficient in tools like HFSS, FEKO, MATLAB, and has guided numerous UG and PG projects. As a committed educator, I have delivered expert lectures, worked as an editor and reviewer for reputed journals, and continues to contribute significantly to research and technical education.
