It gives me great pleasure to work as a research assistant for the Smart Research Group, where I began my career under the supervision of top researchers in the field. It was a well-organized research group that provided us with countless opportunities to increase our scientific knowledge, practical skills, soft skills and leadership abilities.

Dr. Shrinath Welikala

Ph.D in System Engineering from Boston University, USA
Won the outstanding Ph.D. Dissertation Award in Systems Engineering

I was privileged to be a part of this research group, first as a final year undergraduate student, then as a temporary instructor and eventually as a research assistant, during my years at UOP. In that period, I first took part in a vision robotics system development project focused on reconnaissance applications. Later on, I was involved in a non-intrusive residential load monitoring project focused on smart grid applications.
