Areas of Expertise : Control Systems Engineering and process control; Systems Modelling and Identification, Advanced control

My primary research interests are in control systems engineering, process control and system identification, robust and optimal control, nonlinear control. My research work is driven by the need to develop reliable and robust control solutions for complex engineering systems, particularly where modelling, identification, automation and safety are closely interconnected.

I am especially interested in developing control approaches for systems whose dynamics, parameters or operating conditions are uncertain. System identification and modelling provide an important foundation for understanding such systems, while robust, optimal, nonlinear and intelligent control methods help translate this understanding into dependable real-world operation.

My research and academic guidance have included maximum power point tracking for grid-connected photovoltaic systems, biomass-based hybrid power systems, robust controller design, MPSoC/FPGA-based intelligent control, traffic-sign detection and recognition, evolutionary FPGA-based autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles, negative-imaginary systems. I have guided seven Ph.D. scholars, including work undertaken through VTU Belgavi and MAHE Manipal, and have co-guided additional doctoral research scholar under MAHE, Manipal.

I also value research that creates strong connections between universities, national laboratories and industry. Through collaborations and professional contacts with a few government research labs, multinational companies and eminent higher education institutes, I have facilitated research exposure and internships for students and encouraged application-oriented academic work. My broader objective is to build interdisciplinary research ecosystems in which faculty and students can address challenging engineering and societal problems through rigorous modelling, experimentation, collaboration and innovation.
