He served in Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering from 1989 to 2006 and was elevated from associate lecturer to various positions. After joining SSN College of Engineering in 2006 as a Professor in the Department of EEE he was instrumental in getting MODROB project and seminar grant from AICTE. He has organised international conferences and several workshops at SSN College of Engineering. Presently he is guiding 5 PhD research scholars and 12 scholars have completed PhD under his guidance. He is currently working in the area of power quality, machine design and power converter topologies. He has received ISTE Periyar Award, Best Engineering College Teacher, and IET Diamond Salute Award in 2014. He is the principal investigator for the project titled "Design and Development of Permanent Magnet Assisted Reluctance Motor Drives for Pump Application" funded by Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB). He is an active member in IEEE and life member in ISTE.

Dr. Jayashri Ravishankar received her BE, ME and PhD all in Electrical Engineering from Anna University, India. After 15 years of teaching in India, she joined the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney in 2010 as an API (Australian Power Institute) sponsored academic for promoting power engineering education in Australia. Her teaching and research interests include power system modelling, analysis and control, renewable energy integration, smart grids and micro grids. She has authored and coauthored more than 80 journal and conference papers in this area. Jayashri set up the first microgrid test bench at UNSW in 2012 and has since supervised to completion seven PhD students in the area of microgrids. She is the associate editor of the Australian Journal for Electrical and Electronics Engineering and a regular reviewer for several IEEE, IET and other journals and conferences. She has research active collaborations in India, Ireland and USA. Jayashri also has a deep interest in learning and teaching, and consistently implements strategies using technology innovations and industry partnerships to improve students' active learning. She is institutionally and internationally recognized for the impact of her innovative, research-led and highly effective teaching and leadership. Alongside high-quality research outcomes and international collaborations, she leads best-practice advanced teaching in electrical engineering through imaginative initiatives, including blended industry lectures and flipped mode strategies. By demonstrating teaching excellence in her professional, inclusive learning environments, particularly supportive of international students, she has been very influential in educational peer leadership. By mentoring her students to focus on learning as future professionals, and by excelling in UNSW leadership and service roles, she shares her passion for engineering education and research. Esteem indicators include Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy awarded by Advance HE (UK), and individual Teaching Excellence Awards both from the Faculty of Engineering and the UNSW.
