Summary

Vikram joined DA-IICT PhD Program in July 2002. His is pursuing doctoral research under guidance of Prof Anutosh Maitra (Supervisor) and Prof Sanjay Chaudhary  (Co-Supervisor). The doctoral work is focused on investigating strategies for Situation Awareness in complex dynamical systems.  The strategies are in the form of conceptual and practical methods in Information Management domain that allows modeling, life cycle management and communication of and among transient entities that are characteristic to complex dynamical systems
