After my graduation, I joined CSIR – Structural Engineering
Research Centre (Central Government Organization) as Scientist.
My role at CSIR – SERC was not limited to research, but also
involved management and administration. I believe the future lies in
multidisciplinary research. I love working in multidisciplinary team as
it gives me an opportunity to learn more about the other fields. My
international experience helped me to step out of my comfort zone,
and acquire new skills and life experiences.
After finishing my Ph.D., I embarked on new journey and joined ULB
as a Postdoctoral Researcher. My area of research is mechatronics
which is something new, exciting and challenging. I have recently
developed lot of interest in control strategies for active isolation. I
love making new professional acquaintances. Please reach out if
want to talk about new technology, idea or cricket.

Active mechanical image stabilization system for drones

The vibrations of the drone add noise to the images captured by it during
its flight. There are various methods available to stabilize the image digitally
and reduce the effect of vibrations on the captured image. However, these
methods only work for a particular range of frequency and amplitude of
vibrations. There is need for a system which is more robust and works for
a broader range of vibrations. This can be achieved through mechanical
stabilization which targets the cause of vibration contrary to other methods
which target the effect of vibration. The aim of this project is to develop a
mechanical stabilization system such that it isolates the camera from the drone
vibrations. This helps the camera to capture images with low noise.

Optimal control design for dynamic hybrid simulation

The controller design process in dynamic hybrid simulation is simplified by
adopting impedance matching approach in which transfer system is seen
as a dynamical system equivalent to the virtual substructure. The controller
design based on impedance matching approach is formulated as a convex
optimization problem with the help of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The
implementation of impedance matching approach is experimentally verified
for a lightly damped physical substructure using electromagnetic shaker as
transfer system.
