I can speak for IIT Madras:
The EE Dept at IITM can be divided into these groups [1]:
- Communication and DSP
- Control, Measurements and Instrumentation
- Analog & Digital VLSI
- Power Systems and High Voltage
I will list the salient profs in each group (in my opinion) :
Communication & DSP:
Prof. Ashok Jhunjhunwala – Head of the TeNet group, detailed biography can be found here (Dr.Ashok Jhunjhunwala – TeNet Group – IIT-M ) He is a Padma Shri award holder, has been awarded a number of awards for excellence in technology. He is mostly involved in expanding telecommunications to rural areas. As far as his teaching goes: he gives you a very good overview of how things work, but doesn’t go into detail.
