About resource person:

At present, I am working as an Assistant Professor, Instrumentation and Control Engineering Department, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, Punjab, India. Before, I have worked as an assistant professor, HOD (biomedical Engg Department) and R&D Coordinator at Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences (Deemed to be University), Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha, India. I have done PhD from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, INDIA. I have obtained MTech (Control and Instrumentation Engg.) and BTech (Electronics & Communication Engg.) from State Government Rajasthan Technical University, Kota, in 2012 and 2010, respectively. I have around five years of teaching and research experience. Besides, I have awarded by Gold Medal for excellence in MTech by Rajasthan Technical University, Kota. From research point of view, I have published research work in IEEE Transactions, IET, Taylor and Francis, and Springer Journals. My research area is to design PID and PIDA controllers for time-delayed and uncertain systems, polynomial control design, robust and non-fragile control design, and their applications in aerodynamical systems, power system operation and control, dc-dc converters.

Area of Interests:
Robust and Resilient control, Intelligent control, PID control design, PIDA control design and its applications, Polynomial control design, Stability analysis, Time-delayed and uncertain systems, Load frequency control, Power system stability and control, MicroGrid, Reinforcement Learning, Cyber-Physical System and Control, Soft computing, Digital image fusion, and image watermarking.
