I am a medical doctor who has done Ph.D. in Biomedical engineering from IT-BHU. I enjoy Editing here (since November 04, 2006) and being a Citizen! Presently Founding Chair of Biomedical Informatics at PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research [1] in Coimbatore, India. My Research interests include Automated Clinical Diagnostic Systems and EEG changes in health and disease. My homepages are: [2], [3] and [4]. I have been among the first wave of Editors invited to join Citizendium.

Presently I am the Chair of the Editorial Council.
