Dr. Murari Gupta is an internationally recognized researcher in polymer material science is joining Techno NJR as a Professor. He completed his PhD in polymer science and engineering from Georgia Tech USA and worked as postdoctoral fellow at Virginia Commonwealth University, High Performance Materials Institute at Florida State University and currently working at Howard University in Washington DC. Dr. Gupta was a DAAD Fellow at University of Stuttgart, Germany during his MTech program at IIT Delhi. He is an invited peer reviewer in several reputed research journals published by Sage, Elsevier and Wiley in the area of polymer material science. Dr. Gupta’s current research is in high performance multi functional polymeric composites based on carbon nanotubes. Dr. Gupta’s research is expected to bring exciting applications including light-weight stronger materials for fuel efficient aircraft, automobile structures and to develop novel electronic devices.
Techno India NJR Institute of Technology, Udaipur is setting up a Nanotechnology centre for research and trainings in this newly emerging field.
The Nanotechnology Center at Techno NJR will bring multidisciplinary faculty members from electronics, electrical, mechanical and basic sciences departments to design and develop the most innovative multifunctional materials such as energy storage devices, light-weight structures for airplanes, impact resistant body armor, army vehicles and solar cells for energy harvesting. Techno NJR’s greatest strength is its excellent multidisciplinary faculty needed to meet the crucial mulifunctionality requirement for the design of next-generation innovative products based on nanotechnology.

An international workshop on Advances in Control Systems was organized by Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Techno India NJR Institute of Technology, Udaipur with technical support from Department of Electronics, University College of Engineering, RTU Kota.
Prof Leonid Fridman and Prof J A Moreno Perez from National Autonomous University of Mexico were the main speaker and our guest of honour. Prof Fridman is well known in the field of Control System. He is the associate editor of conference editorial board of IEEE control systems society, member of TC on Variable Structure Systems and Sliding mode control of IEEE Control System Society. His research interests include variable structure systems, singular perturbations and time-delay systems. He has published more than 90 technical papers in peer reviewed journals. Prof J A Moreno Perez has several years of experience in Control System and has published more than 40 technical papers. The others speakers at the workshop were Prof Rajeev Gupta and Dr Girish Parmar.
The speakers at the workshop were internationally known personalities in the field of Control Systems. Lectures were delivered on various advanced topics in control system. Prof Leonid Fridman spoke about the three generations of sliding mode controllers. Prof J. A. Moreno Perez’s talk was on Observer based compensation of matched and unmatched uncertainties. Prof Rajeev Gupta spoke of the latest trends in fuzzy logic based power stabilizers for single-machine and multi-machine power systems. Dr Girish Parmar gave the talk on reduced order modelling and its application in control system design.
More than 70 students attended the workshop and enhanced their knowledge and understanding of latest advances and trends in control system.
The workshop was inaugurated by the Guest of Honour, Prof Fridman and Prof Moreno by lightening the lamp along with Lord Saraswati’s vandana sung by the volunteers. Mr R S Vyas introduced the guests/ speakers to the intellectual audience. The certificates were distributed by Prof Rajeev Gupta, Prof Mithilesh Kumar and Dr Girish Parmar to all the attendees. Dr Rajbeer Sharma gave the vote of thanks to all the guests, speakers and the attendees.
