Biography

Narendra Kumar received his doctorate degree in electrical engineering from RWTH Technical University Aachen, Aachen, Germany. He was with R&D, Motorola Solutions since early 1999 and holding position of Principal Staff Engineer (Architect Designer). He has long experiences in RF and Microwave product development around 15 years with Motorola Solutions, R&D (USA and Penang). He has been appointed as Visiting Professor to Istanbul University since January 2011. Since August 2013, he is with Department of Electrical Engineering of University Malaya and serving as Associate Professor. He holds 3 US Patents and 4 Defensive Patents in the area of microwave power amplifiers, all assigned to Motorola Solutions. He has authored more than 50 papers in technical journals and conferences, where his significant contributions are on high efficiency microwave power amplifiers, distributed power amplifiers and wideband matching theory and circuit. Since early 2011, he is actively involved to give RF and Microwave power amplifier courses to many organizations in Asia and Europe, including Spain, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Thailand, etc. His name was included in the 2009 Who’s Who in Science and Engineering. He was recipient of the paper award in 2009 IEEE Microwave Propagations and System for his paper on broadband high power distributed amplifier. His two papers on wideband matching circuits and nonlinear microwave stability were an invited paper for IEEE Mediterranean Microwave Symposium 2010 (North Cyprus) and IEEE Wireless and Microwave Technology Conference 2012 (Florida, US), respectively. He has chaired few IEEE and PIERS technical conferences in Europe and Asia since 2009. He has conducted few IEEE seminars related to RF and Microwave Power Amplifier in Europe and Asia since 2007. He also serves as Keynote Speaker to several IEEE conferences since 2010 (Cyprus, Florida US, Beirut, Bangkok, etc).Since June 2009, he is serving as Reviewer of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory Techniques, IET Circuit, Devices and Systems, etc. He is Senior Member of Institute of Electrical Electronics Engineers (USA) and Fellow of Institution of Engineering Technology (UK). He has been appointed as IEEE Industry Relations Team of Asia Pacific since Jan. 2015 to support industrial linkage activities.
