Achievements
  • Development of a complete repertoire of analytical methods to analyse linear systems with lumped-parameter description employing the time-domain operational approach
  • Sustained efforts towards freeing the Department Computer Systems from the stranglehold of proprietary Operating Systems (OS) and application software, leading to a robust Linux (Fedora) based working environment in about 250+ Systems owned by the Department and its Faculty/Students.
