Dr. Shayok Mukhopadhyay

Assistant Professor

Shayok Mukhopadhyay graduated with a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, majoring in systems and control with a focus on nonlinear system theory. Following his undergraduate degree, he worked as an associate analyst with Deloitte Consulting in Mumbai, India, developing web software. In his master’s degree, Shayok worked on Tokamak plasma position control. Following his PhD, he is more interested in nonlinear dynamics, specifically computing invariant sets for nonlinear systems, and also in studying/modeling the dynamics of energy systems consisting of elements like batteries, super-capacitors and fuel cells.
