Uttam is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronics and Communication, IIITDM Kancheepuram-Chennai. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Department of Electronic Systems Engineering, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore in 2021, where he worked on the design and development of novel multimodal cancer diagnosis systems using optical, thermal, and acoustic modalities. He completed his M.Tech is from the Electrical Department, IIT Bombay in 2013, where he has specialized on computational electromagnetics. He completed his B.E. is from A.D.Patel Institute of Technology (Sardar Patel University) in 2008. He has more than 8 years of industrial experience while working as Team Lead (High-Frequency Electromagnetics) at COMSOL Multiphysics (6 + years),  Patent research engineer at Evalueserve (1 year), and Technology Analyst at an opto-semiconductor startup: De Core Science and Technologies (~ 1 year). His research interest lies in developing novel optical tools for intraoperative cancer margin assessment and diagnosis of disease (oral, cervical, and breast cancer).


Leap Lab @ IIITDM Kancheepuram is always looking for enthusiastic team members to work in this multidisciplinary field encompassing optics, medical, electronics, design, and imaging.
