Who can talk better about science and research than Prof. Pasupathy, who has 35 years of teaching and research experience; highly reputed by peers; published hundreds of highly cited scientific articles and has supervised many successful professors.
His research work has involved developing algorithms and modulation schemes for signal processing and designing advanced transceiver structures for high-capacity radio networks. He has helped develop Canada’s capabilities in all these areas. His is also a familiar name at the IEEE, particularly with readers of IEEE Communications Magazine. For several years, he was editor of the Data Communications column in the IEEE Transactions on Communications.
He is best known for his humor column, “Light Traffic,” which he unveiled in IEEE Communications Magazine in 1984. For a run of 14 years, before giving it up in 1998, he kept it full of funny articles and poems, entertaining puzzles, and word plays. For someone whose native language was not English, writing the column was not easy, but he took it on as a personal challenge. “There are great scholars from Germany mastering Indian languages, so why can’t I come from India and do some interesting things in English?” he says. He is the one who predicted the IEEE TV channel 20 years ago.
He is talking about the art of science and research, addressing the concerns and difficulties faced by graduate students. He will tell us how to make researching and disseminating a fun filled activity.
He will talk for about 30 minutes followed by question and answer session.
All are welcome
