WORK EXPERIENCE
· RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Worked as Research Fellow in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong from 20.12.98 to 31.3.2000 on the problem of Dynamic security constrained congestion management of open access transmission systems in competitive power market. This is one the current area of Power Systems. Suitable location of FACTS devices in open power market has also been developed for congestion management.
Worked as Post Doctoral Fellow in Energy Program at Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand from May 1997 to August 1997 on the problem of Assessment of Energy Efficient Options for Mitigating Emissions of Greenhouse Gases from Electricity Sectors funded by Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA). The Special objective of the research was to assess the Supply- and Demand-side options for greenhouse gases mitigation from electricity sectors with Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) Perspective.

· PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
Worked as Assistant Engineer in U.P. State Electricity Board, at I.I.T. Kanpur Study Cell, India (A State Government Enterprise) from 08.08.88 to 03.07.95 and was responsible for R & D activities relating to Computer Application in Power Systems Planning, Operational & Control. The work was to carry out Power System Studies (i.e. Load Flow, Short Circuit, Stability studies etc.) of U.P. Power System, India where more than 20 research reports were compiled with other officers of Computer Study Cell, IIT Kanpur, India. The old Dec-Version programs were modified to make compatible with PC and user friendly. The Chairman, UP State Electricity Board, India had issued the appreciation letter for the work carried there.
Worked as Assistant Engineer in Control and Instrumentation Maintenance Division of U.P. State Electricity Board, Obra Thermal Power House, Sonebhadra (UP), India (A State Government Enterprise) from 10.07.95 to 13.06.96. The main work was to look after the control and instruments of 2x200 MW units during operation shift-C. Since the control and instruments are the heart of any power plant and any trouble/problem may cause tripping of unit, the duty was very important from proper operation of the plant.
