I work on Control Theory and Applications of Control Theory. Control is an essential, yet invisible tool, to achieve many important objectives for a system. In application of control, I work on Microgrids, Control of Power Converters, Drives and attack detection and mitigation for Cyber-Physical Systems. Regarding theoretical work on control, I work on Event-Triggered Control for different systems and, in particular, singularly perturbed systems.
I am a Professor at Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Jodhpur. I earned Ph.D. degree from IIT Bombay in 2009. I served at IIT Guwahati for one year; i also worked at IIT Kharagpur for a semester. Since 2011, I have been serving IIT Jodhpur.
Research Interest
Control of MicroGrids.
