Biography
I received my BTech in Instrumentation and Control Engineering from the National Institute of Technology (Trichy), India, and my MS and PhD degrees in Aerospace Engineering from North Carolina State University, USA. I worked a brief stint as a postdoctoral researcher at NCSU before joining Glasgow University as a Lecturer in Aerospace Engineering, in November 2014.
