I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering in the College of Technology and Innovation at ASU Polytechnic campus, and the Director of the Advanced Technology Innovation Center (ATIC) and the Image and 3D Data Exploitation and Analysis (I³DEA) Lab. I am also an affiliate in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering (School of Computing and Informatics) at Arizona State University. I received my BS in Mechanical Engineering from REC Kurukshetra, India, and my MS and PhD from Arizona State University.

I also serve as a Senator to the Academic Assembly at ASU.

The Division of Computing Studies merged with the Department of Engineering in Fall 2008.

My vocational training has been in the area of CAD, CAGD, Visualization and Computer Graphics, and Engineering. However,  since the early 1990s, I have emphasized building important horizontal connections between Computer Sciences and other disciplines, as part of my academic vision. These connections have in turn provided me with new and intellectually challenging problems, thereby pushing my research in the Computer Sciences.

There are several links on the left column that will provide you with more information about my professional activities. I am still building my website, so some of the links will be constantly changing and I apologize for that. Feedback and comments are always welcome.

 Thank you for visiting my website.
