Brief Profile

Dr. Dali Ramu Burada  is  working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, Central University of Jharkhand (CUJ) since December 2022. Prior to joining CUJ, he had been a Senior Project Scientist under JATC (DRDO-IITD initiative) and Research Associate (DST) (August 2019 to Dec 2022) at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) from where he received his Ph.D. (2019) and M.Tech.in Applied Optics (2012).  He was a visiting researcher at Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany under Department Science and Technology (DST) India - German Academic Exchange Service Project based Personnel Exchange Programme (DAAD PPEP) during his Ph.D. (2013-2015). He is actively involved in teaching and Research & Development activities in the area of optical engineering and instrumentation. He has made immense contribution towards the development of a critical optical components i.e. asphere, freeform and diffractive optics, for various imaging and non-imaging applications. Particularly, he investigated a scanning Shack-Hartmann sensor (SHS) based metrology solution for in-situ measurement on the machining platforms, which is one of the major impediments in the development of freeform optics. He is also involved in R&D in collaboration with IIT Delhi and other national importance institutes. He has published ten research publications in peer reviewed international journals, twenty two conference proceedings in international conferences and one book chapter. Ten post graduate and Five Integrated UG-PG students have been awarded dissertation under his guidance and some more student dissertations are ongoing.
