Overview
Throughout my professional career, I have participated in and led research, engineering, academic, and infrastructure development projects spanning nuclear instrumentation, reactor control, computer networks, laboratory modernization, university infrastructure, and information technology. These projects contributed to both industrial applications and higher education.
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai
Positions Held: Scientific Officer-C (1979–1983) and Scientific Officer-SD (1983–1985)
At BARC, I worked on instrumentation, reactor safety, control systems, and computer-based monitoring technologies supporting India's nuclear power programme.
-
Microprocessor-based Gaseous Fission Products Monitoring System (GFPMS)
Designed and developed a microprocessor-based monitoring system for detecting failed fuel rods in the CIRUS reactor, significantly reducing environmental contamination risks. -
Computerized Reactor Control System Analysis
Performed stability analysis of reactor control systems using PRIMOS (PRIME-450), VMS (PDP-11), and BESM-6 mainframe systems to improve reactor safety and operational reliability. -
Dhruva (R-5) Reactor Instrumentation
Participated in commissioning reactor control instrumentation for the Dhruva Reactor, ensuring accurate monitoring and dependable operation.
Jai Narain Vyas University, Jodhpur
During my academic career, I initiated and supervised several projects related to research, networking infrastructure, computer laboratories, and information technology development within the university.
-
Integrated Computer Laboratory Project
Obtained financial assistance from the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India, to establish and integrate computer laboratories across university departments. -
Traffic Control and Routing in Packet Switching Networks
Principal investigator of an AICTE-sponsored research project on Broadband Integrated Services Digital Networks (BISDN), conducted jointly with Prof. P. S. Tiwari. -
AICTE MODROB Project
Modernized departmental computer laboratories through the AICTE MODROB (Modernization and Removal of Obsolescence) scheme. -
UGC INFONET Project
Directed the implementation of campus-wide Internet connectivity under the UGC INFONET programme. -
Campus Fibre-Optic Networking
Supervised installation of fibre-optic connectivity linking the University Computer Centre and student hostels, providing high-speed Internet access to more than 800 users.
Impact
These projects reflect my long-standing commitment to applying computer science, electronics, and information technology to solve real-world engineering challenges while strengthening research facilities, academic infrastructure, and higher education.
