Overview
I am an Associate Professor in Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, India. I was a research fellow in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at National University of Singapore, Singapore in 2010. I received a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India in 2009. My focused research interests include electricity market, smart distribution grid/microgrids and grid integration of distributed energy resources (DER) and energy management. I am currently a PI/Co-PI for national/international collaborative research projects. I am a recipient of IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Gujarat Chapter Outstanding Engineer award in 2017. I have received Building Energy Efficiency Higher & Advanced Network (BHAVAN) Fellowship by India-US Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) in 2016 for carrying out short-term research in building energy management at Virginia Tech University – Advanced Research Institute (ARI), VA USA. I am the co-author/author of 70+ research papers (list of publications) in peer-reviewed international journals and conferences, and 5 book chapters. I am a senior member of IEEE, Fellow of IETE and member of the Institution of Engineers (India).
