Profile
  • Dr Pota's main teaching interests are in analogue electronics, circuit theory, robotics, and power systems. His research interests are in the areas of modelling and control of flexible structures and acoustical noise and cable-driven long-reach manipulators. He has worked on obtaining models for distributed parameter systems using symbolic algebra software. He has worked on various control techniques for distributed parameter systems and the chief amongst them are: H-infinity, spatial control, resonant control, passivity based controller design, and minimax LQG control.

    Dr Pota has an active collaboration with many researches. The main collaborators being Professor Ian Petersen in the department, Professor Atul Kelkar with the Iowa State University, and Professor Sunil Agrawal with the University of Delaware.
