Email: mridul@ualberta.ca Location of work: Chemical and Materials Engineering Building (Room 581) - University of Alberta Personal Details: I completed my B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India. I am presently enrolled in the M.Sc. program in Computer Process Control. I am crazy about cricket, both playing and watching. I play for the Greenfield Cricket Club in the Edmonton District Cricket League. Apart from cricket I also enjoy badminton, tennis and hockey. I am trying to develop a habit of reading. Some of my favorite books are Godfather, The Goal, To kill a Mocking Bird, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and any John Grisham's book. Area of Research: Practical issues in Controller Performance Assessment Control performance monitoring / assessment (CPM / CPA) is an important asset-management technology to maintain highly efficient operation performance of automation systems in production plants. My research deals with some practical issues involved with controller performance assessment tools, like relative performance index (RPI). Presence of Integrated White Noise (IWN) type disturbance in a system poses variability issues with RPI. I have developed a method to automatically detect the presence of IWN in the system and devised a way to compute RPI for such cases. I have also worked on the economic impact analysis of better performance monitoring. The conventional performance indices give a good estimate of the controller performance, but what they do not tell is the $ benefits of improving the performance. I worked on the idea of developing a methodology to integrate the present controller performance and the economic impact of improving the performance of that particular controller into one index, the Economic Performance Index (EPI).
