Pavithrakrishnan Radhakrishnan

Bio
Dr. PavithraKrishnan Radhakrishnan is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA. He is currently working in the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) domain at the REFTAS Lab. 

He received the B.E degree in electrical and electronics engineering from Anna University, Chennai, India in 2014, the M.S. degree in electronic embedded systems from ESIGELEC, Rouen, France, in 2018, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering, specializing in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), from KU Leuven, Bruges Campus, Belgium, in 2025.  From 2019 to 2020, he worked as a Hardware Development Engineer with Magna International, Germany. His current research interests include EMC, characterization methods for shielding effectiveness of gaskets, and board-level shields. He actively contributes to the development of EMC standards, serving as Secretary of the Shielding Standards Continuity Group since 2022, and is involved in IEEE 2716 (PCB Level Shielding Effectiveness) and IEEE 1302 (Characterization of Shielding Gaskets), IEEE 299 and 299.1 (Characterization of Shielding Enclosures).

Dr. Radhakrishnan was the recipient of the 2022 Young Professional award at the IEEE EMCS Symposium, Spokane, US. He is an active member of the IEEE EMC Society’s Technical Committee (TC4) and the IEEE EMCS Education Committee (EdCom). He also represents the society as the Young Professionals (YP) ambassador for 2024-2025. In addition, he serves as a Reviewer in IEEE Transactions on EMC (TEMC), IEEE EMC+SIPI, and EMC Europe conferences.

His professional journey spans multiple countries, including India, France, China, Germany, Belgium, and the USA. Outside of his academic pursuits, he is an avid traveler and a passionate enthusiast of music and food.
