• Develop IoT, data and analytics strategy, Communicate the strategy to executive leadership via presentations, white papers
• Lead the team of 8 that developed transformer-based, deep learning predictive method for advance warning of compression cycle related field failures with 90% accuracy. See BLOG.
• Invented energy saving HVAC control that factors in future weather in a closed loop MPC/RL. Energy savings reduce the carbon footprint of homes without sacrificing comfort, providing the thermostat an edge.
• Developed crowd-sourced, accurate excess energy consumption alerts for individual homes as a precursor to system degradation and eventual faults. The alerts are based on physics inform statistical model.

• Setup Analytics group for model-based diagnostics product development at KPIT, Interface with potential automotive OEMs and Tier 1 customers to formulate the problems for customer pain points and solution proposals
• Patented a graph-based approach to build a detailed diagnostic information model from engineering documents. Lead the team to develop and commercialize it into “Trace2Fix” product for maintenance and data collection.
• Analyzed dealerships collected maintenance data using Trace2Fix to generate and benchmark performance metrics for the system in a live dashboard that provided the OEM previously impossible real-time intelligence.

• Analytics COE design. Starting a dialogue with businesses and formulating end-to-end process optimization and analytics problems for the COE to target: retail, purchasing, inventory, oil and gas, refining, chemical.
• Established seabed subsidence predictive model using big data from sensor instrumented seabed. Proportion of seawater to gas increases significantly after seabed subsidence, actions could be taken in advance to avoid.
• Once a leak is suspected in undersea pipeline (KGD-6 oil and gas), it takes hundreds of miles of remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) navigation and the ROV carrying main ship to locate the leak. Using the data.
• Gradient search optimization of crude oil mix for maximizing refinery profit led to data-driven purchasing decisions. Chemical process optimization maximized yields.

• Develop data mining and analytics functionality in Condition-Based Maintenance program
• Lead data science activities to develop counter-intuitive field maintenance insights that solved urgent field maintenance issues for the GM IVHM program (patent applied)
• Developed prognostic alert algorithms that were commercialized in Predictive Trend Monitoring and Diagnostics (PTMD) product
• Developed aircraft fleet analytics web dashboard containing several ML algorithms collaborating with RapidMiner team and presented it organization-wide and used it for coaching and spreading data science awareness
• OSST (Operations Support and Sustainment Technologies) 6.3 project– System architect and integration manager of 6 new predictive technologies on a helicopter HUMS box for a high-profile Army demonstration

• Future Combat Systems (FCS)-Platform Soldier Mission Readiness System subcontract from Honeywell. Write research proposals to DoD, NASA, etc. Direct research for funded projects on Diagnostics, Prognostics and Health.
• Secured and executed several externally funded programs, patented inventions.

• Advised 2 PhD and 2 MS students. Instructor: MEEM 4700 Dynamic Systems and Control MEEM/EE 5715 Linear Systems Theory and Design MEEM 6702 Nonlinear Systems Analysis and ControlResearch: Real-time nonlinear parameter.
• Invented the controller for Electric Power Steering. Patent commercialized on several car models.
• Several journal publications.
