He is responsible for establishing an advanced wireless power transfer technology laboratory as a part of the international specialists team for the Center for Advanced Wirless Technologies. Between 2018-2019, he served as a senior researcher/Research Professor at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology. Previously, his PhD thesis at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, South korea, led to the launch of an University incubated enterprise, for which he served as a Principal Engineer and Chief Designer in 2017-2018. After his PhD in 2016, he served Indian Institute of Technology, Tirupati in the capacity of Assistant Professor (Electrical Engineering) between 2016-2017.ResearchProf. Dr. Oruganti, prime research focus is in the development of Wireless Power Transfer(WPT) for applications- Internet of Things (IoT) device charging, Agriculture, Electric Vehicle Charging, Biomedical device charging, Electromagnetically induced transparancy techniques for military and defence applications, Secured shipping containers, Nano Energy Generators. Achievements Prof. Dr. Oruganti has more than 21 patents pending on his credit and with several of those patent applications passing the NoC stage. As of 2021, 16 of 21 patents have been granted. He is credited with the pioneering work in the field of Zenneck Waves based Wireless Power Transfer system. Most notably, he has been regarded as one of the only few researchers in the field of WPT to be able to conduct power and signal transmission across partial Faraday shields. His recent paper accepted by Nature Scientific Reports has generated a lot of interest and excitement in the field. International Union of Radio Science(URSI) recognized his research efforts and awarded him Young Scientist Award in 2016. He is also recipient of IEEE sensors council letters of appreciation.Dimitrios A.
