Curriculum vitae

My research interests are in the broad areas of
structural dynamics, stochastic structural mechanics and earthquake
engineering. I am currently working on development of multi-variate extreme value distributions for vector random
processes, applications of particle filters in nonlinear structural system
identification and control, simulation based reliability analysis of
dynamical systems using variance reduction schemes, vibration testing with
real time substructure simulations, and earthquake response of liquid
storage tanks. I received ME (Civil, 1984) and PhD (1989) from the Indian
Institute of Science. I worked as a scientist at the Structural Engineering
Research Centre, Madras (1990-91) and as a Research Assistant at the
Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, UK (1991-93). I joined the Department of Civil
Engineering, IISc in 1993 as an Assistant
Professor and I have been in this Department since then. Presently, I hold
the position of Professor in this Department and I am also serving as the
Chairman of the newly formed Centre for Earth Sciences at IISc. I have held visiting positions at the University
of Delaware (May 2003), and at the Johns Hopkins University (June-July
2003), USA. I have received research funding from various agencies within
India including, DAE, DST, CSIR, ISRO, Indian Railways, BHEL, Delphi
Automotive Systems and DRDO.
