Dr. Kallol Roy is a B.Tech (Electrical) from NIT, Calicut (1984), graduate of the 28th Batch of Training School at BARC (1985), M.Tech (Electronics Design) from CEDT, IISc, Bangalore (1990) and PhD (Fault Diagnosis in Control Systems) from Syscon, IIT-Bombay (2000). He was also a Post-Doc Fellow at the Univ. of Alberta, Computer Process Control Group, Chemical & Materials Dept. (2005-06). Dr. Roy had joined BARC soon after his graduation and had worked there for three decades as an Instrumentation Engr. in the Research Reactors at BARC, where he had specialized in system/equipment fault diagnostics & predictive maintenance techniques and application of various mathematico-statistical & Bayesian approaches for total-maintenance-management of plants. He had subsequently served as a CMD of BHAVINI (a PSU under the Dept. of Atomic Energy, Govt.of India), from 2016 to 2021, where apart from his primary assignments on Project Management & Corporate Governance, Dr. Roy was working on Health Monitoring techniques for structures & roto-dynamic equipment, Bayesian Forecasting & Optimization studies for system commissioning and for evolving the concepts of Technology Forecasting, Sustainability Engg. along with Human Reliability & Cybernetics.
Dr. Roy, retired from GOI service, in January 2021 and has since been associated as a Research Advisor & Guest Faculty with the Systems Group, Dept. of Chemical Engg., IIT-Madras. Presently, he offers a semester level course on Modern Control Theory and co-guides PhD & Post-Doc fellows on aspects of De-noising & Estimation of Air-Pollution Measurements & Battery Management Systems, Networked & Distributed Controls, Critical Transitions in Complex Dynamical Systems (as an extension to the problems of fault diagnostics in linear time-varying systems) and Game-theoretic formulations on pollution mitigation policy formulations.
