As apparent from the image above (which incidentally seems almost mandatory to be present - given the academic location of this site and all that..), my origins can be traced back to a town called Kanpur, located in northern India. I finished my undergraduate studies out there, which was followed by a professional stint spanning two years, subsequent resignation, GRE/TOEFL and all that, and then Masters(2003) in EE leading to the ongoing PhD pursuit.

As I mentioned earlier, this site is being created with the intent of providing a central repository of academic and ..well non-academic resources from my end which may/may not pertain to myself. Another reason why this is really a good idea - which am working towards is that this makes a lot of sense - especially when distributing assignments and other course related material to my colleagues and sections. Also, I will be shortly posting a collection of articles (technical/otherwise) I have written for the reference of anyone interested. One of the most important collection would be that of some simple scripts that I have had to create over the years to automate several mind-numbing jobs. Almost all of these will be in MATLAB and should be compatible with versions 6.0 and beyond.

Graduate school has the ability to strip away anything even remotely social. Nevertheless I have tried to keep writing and some of that can be found at my BLOG.

Every now and then, I receive electronic mail that doesn't necessarily enhance my being - however I did receive one very recently that caused a hysterical loss of bladder control. Here it is...(thanks to LH for the same).
