E D U C A T I O N

I did my Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering, from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, in June 1975. I won the Kaloori Medal in 1974 and the Siemens Medal for the Best Graduating Student in IIT from the Department of Electrical Engineering. In 1975, I moved to Bangalore to the Indian Institute of Science to pursue the Master of Engineering degree in Electrical Engineering. I received this degree in 1977 and was the Electrical Engineering Gold Medal winner for being the Best Graduating Student of the year. During this time I worked with Professor M.A.L. Thathachar. From there, I went to Purdue University to complete the Master of Science (1979), and Doctor of Philosophy degrees (1982), both in the Department of Electrical Engineering. My supervisor at Purdue was Professor Rangasami L. Kashyap.
