He was awarded a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship for Foreign Researchers in Japan by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), and pursued research at the Department of Robotics, Ritsumeikan University, Japan, 2002-2004. He has been to the United States, France, Japan, Spain, UK, Israel, Italy and Malaysia for dissemination of research work. He has been an invited visiting Professor to Ecole Centrale de Lille, France, in 2015, 2014, 2012, 2010, 2007, 2002 and 2000. He has completed five sponsored research projects and is currently supervising 5 PhD scholars. He has been a reviewer for ASME Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement and Control, IEEE transactions on Robotics, Journal of the Franklin Institute, Mechanism and Machine Theory, IASTED International Journal of Modeling, Simulation and Control. He is a member of the ASME, IEEE, Life member of ISTE and The Association for Machines and Mechanisms (AMM). He was chairman of NCDDM 2007 at SLIET Longowal, has delivered several keynote lectures, and has chaired several conference sessions both in India and abroad. He has coordinated and organized several MHRD/AICTE sponsored faculty development programmes on Mechatronics, Modeling and Simulation, etc. He has jointly coordinated two GIAN courses. The first one on, "Dynamic Modeling of Multi-Physics Systems using Bond Graph," 28th November to 7th December 2016, with Foreign Faculty as Professor Genevieve Dauphin-Tanguy, Centrale Lille, France, and also been the Indian Faculty for the course. The second one on, "Manufacturing Automation – Robotics and Process Integration," 17th to 22nd December 2018, with Foreign Faculty as Professor Subramaniam Balakrishnan, University of Manitoba, Canada. His research interests are in System Dynamics and Control – especially using Bond Graph, Mechatronics, Robotics and Automation, Mechanisms and Machines, Simulation, understanding musculoskeletal actuation and systematic development of prosthetic devices for rehabilitation of hand impairment. He is also very passionate about teaching and has designed many innovative lecture presentations together with MATLAB based simulations. His lectures are available on YouTube channels of his anandvaz@nitj.ac.in and anandvaz@ieee.org accounts and are regularly added and updated. |
