About ...... Misc.

Partha obtained his Engineering Doctorate in Automation and Control Engineering from one of the finest research centres in France: le Laboratoire d'Automatique de Grenbole, Grenoble, France (1980). His thesis won him the highest rating given to doctoral theses: "Très Honorable et les félicitations du jury" which may be translated as : Highly commended, and appreciated by the jury.

 
Partha's research interests are :

  • Software engineering related to automation and control.
  • Safety-critical systems.
  • Application of formal methods.
Here is a research profile of Partha.
 
  As part of the process of keeping himself up-to-date, academically and technologically, Partha has always meticulously followed a policy of taking off on sabbatical leave, every so often. His sabbatical visits have taken him to :
