BRIEF BIO
|
The Instrumentation and Control Engineering Department at the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli is where I earned my doctorate in Instrumentation as well as my master's degree in Process Control and Instrumentation. I also have three years of post-doctoral research experience from the Department of Electronics at Cochin University of Science and Technology. My extensive research interests include the design and development of models of sub-systems of acoustic energy harvesters, the development of piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters, and the development of machine learning-based methods for locating acoustic sources.
