BRIEF BIO
Iam an Instrumentation engineer experienced in the operation and maintenance of industrial instrumentation as well as in project management. I have immense experience in the quality control procedure of instrument installation, calibration and commissioning in process industry. Through the installation, operation and maintenance experience in ST wind profiling Radar and its associated weather instruments, I have gained good knowledge in the remote sensing technology as well as how latest technologies can be used efficiently in scientific applications. Recently, I have been involved in the research on applications of wind profiling Radar on lower atmosphere as well as ionosphere, and published several papers in peer reviewed journals.
