Dear Students, Faculty Members, and Esteemed Stakeholders,
With immense pride and enthusiasm, I welcome you to Loyola Institute of Technology, a place where academic excellence, innovation, and leadership come together. With more than 32 years of expertise in teaching and research within the field of engineering, I am committed to guiding this institution toward new heights of success and academic distinction.
My journey as an educator and administrator has given me the opportunity to contribute to the academic and research development of numerous students and scholars. As a recognized Supervisor of Anna University, I have mentored 9 Ph.D. scholars to their successful completion in Anna University, Chennai and served on the Doctoral Committee member for 19 Ph.D research scholars. My research portfolio includes 46 international publications and I have authored 7 textbooks that are widely used in academia.
I have been fortunate to lead several key initiatives throughout my career, including securing research funding from reputable organizations like AICTE, DST, DRDO, and CSIR for projects. Additionally, I have played a crucial role in accreditation processes, spearheading NBA accreditation four times, NAAC accreditation twice and having extensive experience in the autonomous accreditation process, ensuring our programs meet the highest national and international standards.
I have also contributed to curriculum development as a member and chairman of various Boards of Studies. My professional memberships with ISTE, IE, ISHRAE, SAE, and IWS reflect my deep engagement with the engineering community.
At Loyola Institute of Technology, my vision is clear and impactful: to cultivate a vibrant and dynamic learning environment where students not only acquire knowledge but also develop the skills and attitudes necessary to thrive in today’s competitive world. We aim to be a Center for Excellence in education, research, and innovation, and I encourage all of you to take full advantage of the opportunities available here.
Together, let us strive to uphold the values of this great institution and work toward a brighter future for all.
