Draft:D Sinha
| Submission declined on 6 June 2025 by Sophisticatedevening (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Dhiraj Sinha is an Indian electrical engineer and physicist, serving as an Assistant Professor at <a href="https://plaksha.edu.in/" class="external text">Plaksha University</a>. His research focuses on electromagnetics, particularly radiating structures with low degrees of freedom and light-matter interactions. He is known for his theory that electromagnetic radiation results from broken symmetry in the electromagnetic field and for his 2025 proposal on the emergence of photons from Maxwell's equations.
Early life and education
Sinha earned his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the <a href="https://www.cam.ac.uk/" class="external text">University of Cambridge</a>. He holds a degree in electrical engineering from the Institute of Engineering and Technology, University of Lucknow, and studied telecommunications at ENST de Bretagne (now <a href="https://www.imt-atlantique.fr/en" class="external text">IMT Atlantique</a>) in Brest, France.
Career
Before joining Plaksha University, Sinha served as Chief Technology Officer at Smantenna Ltd, a startup developing thin-film antennas, contributing to gigahertz antenna-on-chip technology featured in <a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/gigahertz-antenna-on-a-chip" class="external text">IEEE Spectrum</a>. He also worked at Oscion, a technology consulting firm, and held academic positions as a Research Fellow at the <a href="https://www.sutd.edu.sg/" class="external text">Singapore University of Technology and Design</a> and a Postdoctoral Associate at the <a href="https://www.mit.edu/" class="external text">Massachusetts Institute of Technology</a>.
Research
Electromagnetic Radiation and Symmetry Breaking
Sinha's early work proposed that electromagnetic radiation arises from explicit symmetry breaking in the electromagnetic field, challenging traditional views. Published in Physical Review Letters (2015), this theory was expanded in the 2016 book Explicit Symmetry Breaking in Electrodynamic Systems and Electromagnetic Radiation, co-authored with Gehan A. J. Amaratunga.
Photon Emergence and Light-Matter Interaction
In 2025, Sinha published a groundbreaking hypothesis in Annals of Physics, suggesting that photons emerge naturally from Maxwell's equations, bridging classical and quantum mechanics. He posits that the time-varying magnetic field in light generates an electric potential that energizes electrons, with the frequency domain representation aligning with Einstein's photon energy equation, E = hν. This work, implying that Maxwell's equations inherently account for light quantization, has been covered by outlets like <a href="https://www.scitechtimes.com/new-theory-proposes-photons-emerge-naturally-from-maxwells-fields-bridging-classical-and-quantum-light-physics/" class="external text">Scitech Times</a>, <a href="https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/business/unravelling-the-mystery-of-light-bridging-the-gap-between-einstein-and-maxwell/" class="external text">The Tribune India</a>, and <a href="https://www.muyinteresante.com/ciencia/maxwell-se-anticipo-a-einstein-la-ecuacion-oculta-sobre-los-fotones.html" class="external text">Muy Interesante</a>.
Other Contributions
Sinha's research also encompasses ultra-small antennas for cellular and sensing applications, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and statistical mechanics. His work includes gigahertz antenna-on-chip designs, thermodynamics in low-dimensional systems, and studies on entropy changes in crystalline materials during phase transitions.
