I graduated with a Bachelor's degree (with
Honors) in Electronics and Communications in 1981 from
University of Madras, and a Masters degree in
Computer Science in 1983 from
Anna
University. Both these universities are located
in
Madras, now called
"Chennai", in the state of Tamilnadu in South India. I got
another Masters degree in Computer Science in 1987, and a
Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1991, both from
Concordia University,
Montreal, Quebec, Canada. My doctoral thesis is on
developing formal specifications for robotic applications.

Department of Computer Science at the
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse,
La Crosse,
Wisconsin in 1999 where I am currently a full Professor. |
