Responsible for bringing systems level view to product development and identifying and infusing advanced technologies in controls products within the company portfolio to solve real customer problems. Work very closely with product line leaders to educate them of promises and constraints of specific technologies and how to leverage them to create innovative products and services. Some of the achievements are summarized here -• Created medium term (1-3 years) blueprint for IoT space for the company, aligned with business strengths and constraints. Successfully led the development of the company’s first IoT offering. The product is ready for customer trial.• Providing technical consultancy to sister company for Lumen Terrain program. The program is developing a IoT based continuous monitoring solution for methane gas emission in open oil and gas fields.• Successfully led multiple programs for developing software tools for productivity improvements. These tools are actively being used in the business.

Worked on multiple research programs including advance wind turbine controls, integrated gasification combined cycle controls, centrifugal compressor controls, in-flight aircraft refueling system controls and advance gas turbine controls. Some of the achievements are summarized here. • Successfully led the execution of DOE funded program - Optimal Sensor Placement. Final project report: https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1164222. • Successfully initiated and led Advanced Gas Turbine Controls program. The program showed ways to improve turbine loading rate by 20% without loosening any turbine or operational constraints.• Successfully designed and field tested the advanced temperature control and the drum level control for Heat Recovery Steam Generation System. Both are now part of GE power standard OpFlex product offerings.

• 12 weeks summer internship• Developed nonlinear, 6-Degree of freedom mathematical model and computer simulation for the closed coupled UAVs formation flight.• Analyzed the centralized and the decentralized control laws design for making and maintaining UAVs formation

In

Was part of the National Control Law Team tasked with designing flight control system for India’s first indigenously designed fully fly-by-wire light combat aircraft (LCA). The team was created by drawing experts from multiple research organizations and defense establishments. Responsibilities included analyzing and designing full authority flight control system for statically unstable longitudinal axis dynamics and supporting pilots for high fidelity simulation validation of the controls. • Designed the first flight longitudinal axes controller. LCA successfully flew with this controller in January 2000
