From Bombay to Minneapolis...
I was born in Mumbai, India. For those
who know their way around, I schooled in New English School, Government
Colony Bandra East, attended Ruparel College, Matunga and then graduated from D.J.Sanghvi College
of Engineering, Vile Parle, with a Chemical Engineering degree. After that, I dabbled in chaos and process
control at the Chaos Research Group, University of
Tennessee-Knoxville USA; played with bubbles at
Oak Ridge National Laboratory and then joined a startup ieWild, in San
Diego.
...
am in analytic consulting...
|
Not bad for starters. Then our fledging startup got sued by
HNC Software leading to the ieWild team joining Fair Isaac. A few months
later, HNC settled ieWild's lawsuit. Weeks later, HNC "merged"
with Fair Isaac under the Fair Isaac banner. Viva corporate America!!
Currently I am in
financial services consulting as an Analytic Consulting-Consultant
in the Product Development and Analytics group at Fair, Isaac &
Co. Inc. Resume here.

 By
nature I consider myself to be a very enthusiastic person
(though an intermittent
site-specific extrovert). Friends
call me energetic, not-so-friendly friends call me over committed...
I deny nothing!
..an intermittent
site-specific extrovert...

I believe that life is
only as interesting as one makes it.And so I certainly am not
sparing any effort!!!! I have a whole lot of hobbies which I
actively pursue and devote a significant portion of my life to.
Life has infinite facets and one can do anything, provided one has
the imagination and motivation. |

 I
picked this lazy art from one of my friends Dad back in school
days. Graduating from chalk, I finally have worked my way
upto wood and hope someday to work in stone.
Take a look at some of
my pieces...

Over my final years in
graduate school, I learned to sail and as an aperitif before going
out into the real world, I went on a week long sailing trip to the
Florida Keys. Look at some pics

Modification,
Identification And Control Of Chaotic Bubbling With Electrostatic
Potential
In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order
-Carl Jung
Effervescence and bubbling have always been
thought of as one of the simple phenomena, which make life interesting
to look at.
...beneath this innocuous visage lies a system so complex...
|
But beneath this innocuous
visage lies a system so complex
that the last decade has produced a flurry of papers investigating the
interplay of bubbles. From numerical modeling of bubbles to studying
the effect of sounds of bubble formation, numerous research thrusts
have been made to try and capture this phenomenon in its entirety...

July
, 2002 - October, 2002
: I volunteered with
the Nature Conservancy as a free lance photojournalist. More pictures
coming up soon. Check out nature.org |
| I am a
photography enthusiast and I an very serious about it. Though I am
an amateur, I hope to turn pro (after 10years???), and
publish a book. This is one of my dreams!!! I own a Canon
1n, 50mm 1.4 USM, 85mm 1.8 USM, 28mm 2.8 EF and also a Pentax MZ-50 with
a 35-80mm, f4-5.6 zoom, and a f2 standard 50mm. When I went to
India in January 2003, I was almost on the verge of buying
studio lights (2 x 250W Elinchromes), but was convinced by my
dealer to buy them in US. I rue the decision.

updated January '00
I
try my hand at being a vocalist (to the rile of everybody around
me), from time to time. Here is a clip from 'Breathless' by
Shankar Mahadevan (But sung by me... with apologies to him). I
have only a clip here because UT offers me a measly 2MB of
webspace.

(January
1999-June 2000)
This was what I did in grad
school
| My
odyssey began with a core chemical engineering research topic, and
with successive bifurcations through chaos, non-linear time series
analysis, multi-variate statistical process control and finally
applied artificial intelligence.
Playing with bubbles is
much more interesting than you can imagine!!! ;-)
..and finally
applied artificial intelligence.

My project involves
working at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory. I am presently working with Dr.David
DePaoli with the Chemcial Technology Division. At The
University of Tennessee I am working with Prof.Duane
D. Bruns with the Chaos
Research Group.

In graduate school, I
released a software toolbox for chaotic analysis.
