Professor Banmali S. Rawat is the Founder/Editor-in-Chief of a new online journal, "the International Journal of Microwave and Optical Technology (IJMOT)".
IJMOT News, June 29, 2006

A new online journal (IJMOT) combining microwave and optical technology has been started by ISRAMT, a non-profit corporation registered in the state of Nevada with its head-quarters in the Electrical Engineering Department, UNR headed by Professor Banmali Rawat. The governing body of the ISRAMT is the International Advisory Committee (IAC) comprising 30-35 international experts in microwave and optical technology. The other main activity of ISRAMT is the organization of the biennial "International Symposium on Microwave and Optical Technology" (ISMOT) held in different countries.

Prof. Rawat always felt that there was a need for a journal which can publish full length papers for this new community combining microwaves and optics or the upcoming area of microwave photonics. His idea of starting a new journal by the name of the "International Journal of Microwave and Optical Technology" (IJMOT), was discussed by the IAC during ISMOT-1999 in Malaga, Spain. Prof. Rawat was asked to investigate the possibility of this journal in collaboration with some known publishing house. Finally the Academic Press showed keen interest in this venture. Many surveys were done, a list of experts for Editorial Advisory Board was finalized and some cost evaluation was done. Suddenly the US economy took nose dive after 2001 and the Academic Press backed off from the venture. Then Prof. Rawat looked into the possibility of an online journal or e-journal under ISRAMT as it was becoming quite common in the communication industry. The IAC in its meeting during ISMOT-2003 in Ostrava, Czech Republic, decided to start this new journal and elected Prof. Rawat as its first Editor-in-Chief and Founder. [more...]
