Bachelor of Technology (Electrical and Electronics Engineering)

Research My laboratory (NCBS Lab) focuses on three major enabling areas/technologies:

Interests (1) Robotics: The primary focus is on developing machine learning techniques for
medical robotics with applications to microsurgery, brain surgery and wearable
 sensors. Current projects include sensing and robotic compensation for micro
surgery, navigation for brain surgery and radiotherapy, wearable sensors for
health monitoring and motion sensing for gaming applications.
(2) Systems & Control: Focus of research is on nonlinear modelling, estimation
and control of systems with applications to robotics, autonomous systems,
electric vehicles and industrial drives. Current focus is on development of
sliding mode based approaches for fault diagnosis and prognosis of autonomous
systems/vehicles.
(3) Neural Decoding: By developing new approaches for understanding brain mech-
anisms that underlie changes in brain excitability, it is hoped that new tech-
niques/treatment protocols can be established. Using multi-sensor (EEG,
EMG, IMU) configurations and brain-computer interface applications, we aim
to develop biomedical systems for clinical assessment for studying normal and
abnormal brain functions with applications to neural disorders like autism,
ADHD and stroke patients rehabilitation.
