Bio

My full name is Dileep Venkatarama Reddy. My HAM-radio call sign is KI7HDF. I hail from Bangalore, a city in the southern part of India. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master’s degree in Communications from the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM), located in another southern city in India. Soon after, I jumped ship and landed a doctoral degree from the Physics Department at the University of Oregon in Eugene, a town in western USA.

I currently work at NIST in Boulder, Colorado.

I maintain this website since it forces me to update my CV.
