Associated Research Labs
Control and Computation Laboratory
The control and computing group investigates the theoretical and algorithmic principles underlying modern electrical engineering in order to innovatively solve current day engineering problems faced by academia and industry. The lab tackles a wide spectrum of problems spanning automatic control theory, embedded control, large-scale circuit simulation, power system stabilization, and information security.
Stochastic Systems Laboratory
The research carried out in the Stochastic Systems Laboratory focuses on modelling, algorithm design, and performance evaluation issues in networks, online learning systems, and smart power grids. Research uses tools from applied probability, data science, optimization, control theory and game theory.
High Performance Computing Lab
At HPC Lab, the aim is to research and address future needs of high-end parallel computing. Rapid advancements in VLSI technology have ushered a new era in system design by integrating many systems in a single framework, making the whole system much more powerful. The vision is to develop high-performance, practical solutions and contribute to the needs of both the scientific and engineering community.
PC Lab
PC Lab provides general computing facilities to students of Electrical Engineering and Reliability Engineering. Both Windows and Linux machines are present in the lab. A load-balanced server (Rudra) is available for heavier computational use, with software packages like MATLAB, Lyx, Scilab, Spice, Ansys, Sequel, Grace, LaTeX, MySQL, and other standard Linux/Unix packages. PC Lab also provides a central mail service with 500MB storage to all students and faculty of the department. A team of System Administrators provides tech-end support and maintains all network infrastructure in the department.
