Research Intersts: The ways that plants coordinate and integrate numerous physical, chemical and biological processes to produce new biomass and maintain existing biomass, fascinates me. I want to combine the knowledge of Agronomy and meteorology to maximize crop yields. Finally I wish to understand how variation in atmospheric temperature, carbon dioxide and precipitation affect plant growth and maintenance metabolism. To pursue these interests my research focuses on mechanistic modeling of crop growth, development and yield. The models are framed within the context of biological and ecological hierarchies and explain the linkages between environmental constraints and plant functioning. A second approach I used to address my interests involves synthesis results of experimental studies on crop environment interactions. This includes collaboration with interdisciplinary research teams addressing high priority agricultural issues about effects of climate change on crop productivity. I want to build novel bridges between experimental research, in both field and laboratory, and process modeling for improving understanding of environmental and genetic constraints in agro-ecosystem. As a member of faculty, I look forward to exciting interaction with undergraduate and post graduate students.

Research Intersts: Software has now surpassed hardware as the key to the success of many computer based systems. Unfortunately, the track record at developing software is not particularly impressive. Last few decades have been the proliferation of software applications ranging from small to large applications. Many of these applications have required constant maintenance. There are several major reasons for the failure of software projects including lack of a complete requirement specifications and lack of appropriate design/development methodology. This involved correcting faults that had been detected, implementing new use requirements and modifying the software to run on new or upgraded platforms. My current interests are focused to create/use new database technologies to modern hardware and large applications for the proper use of resources.

Research Intersts: Environmental stresses are major constraints to the productivity of crops throughout the world. It is therefore imperative that mechanisms and causes of the stress effects on plant growth and development may be determined systematically, and strategies may be adopted to overcome adverse effects of stresses in order to achieve maximum productivity from the salinity, high temperature and drought-hit areas. My current interests are focused on the expression of stress proteins and other stress related primary and secondary metabolites under water, salinity, heat and cadmium stresses, and finding strategies to fetch greater yields under such conditions. Among various crops, major emphasis is on wheat, barley, rice, sugarcane and maize.
Position & Department: Professor, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Faculty of Agriculture

Research Intersts: Semiconductor device fabrication is the process used to create the integrated circuits (silicon chips) that are present in everyday electrical and electronic devices. It is a multiple-step sequence of photographic and chemical processing steps during which electronic circuits are gradually created on a wafer made of pure semiconducting material. Silicon is the most commonly used semiconductor material today, along with various compound semiconductors. There are two main advantages of Integrated Circuits (ICs) over discrete circuits: cost and performance. Cost is low because the chips, with all their components, are printed as a unit by photolithography and not constructed one transistor at a time. Furthermore, much less material is used to construct a circuit as a packaged IC die than as a discrete circuit. Performance is high since the components switch quickly and consume little power (compared to their discrete counterparts) because the components are small and close together.
Research Intersts: Modern civilization is completely dependent on energy. The present conventional energy sources such as oil, coal and natural gas are depleting day by day.
