Dr. V.R.K. Murthy is currently Professor in the Department of Physics with wide background on development and characterization of microwave dielectric materials such as ferrites, ferroelectrics, dielectric resonators, composite materials, copper clad PTFE, binary polar mixtures and graphite intercalation compounds. He has developed microwave characterization techniques especially on the above class of materials for device specifications. He has also developed microwave devices such as miniaturized integrated circuitry (MICs) on filters and oscillators. These devices are developed based on stripline technology. He also served the department as head and involved corporate activities of institute. Currently he focuses his research interests on microwave sintering of bulk and nano materials, LTCC materials for 3-dimensional microwave integrated circuitry.

          He developed measurements laboratory at Airtron Division of Litton Industries-USA that include the electrical, magnetic and optical measurements on garnet films useful in memory devices.
