Control System Analysis and Identification with MATLAB®

Anish Deb (b.1951) did his B. Tech. (1974), M. Tech. (1976) and Ph.D. (Tech.) degree (1990) from the Department of Applied Physics, University of Calcutta. He started his career as a design engineer (1978) in industry and joined the Department of Applied Physics, University of Calcutta as Lecturer in 1983. In 1990, he became Reader and later became a Professor (1998) in the same Department. He has retired from the University of Calcutta in November 2016 and presently is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Budge Budge Institute of Technology, Kolkata. His research interest includes automatic control in general and application of ‘alternative’ orthogonal functions like Walsh functions, block pulse functions, triangular functions etc., in systems and control. He has published more than seventy (70) research papers in different national and international journals and conferences. He is the principal author of the books ‘Triangular orthogonal functions for the analysis of continuous time systems’ published by Elsevier (India) in 2007 and Anthem Press (UK) in 2011, ‘Power Electronic Systems: Walsh Analysis with MATLAB’ published by CRC Press (USA) in 2014 and ‘Analysis and Identification of Time-Invariant Systems, Time-Varying Systems and Multi-Delay Systems using Orthogonal Hybrid Functions: Theory and Algorithms with MATLAB’ published by Springer (Switzerland) in 2016.Srimanti Roy Choudhury (b.1984) did her B. Tech. (2006) from Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College, under West Bengal University of Technology and M. Tech. (2010) from the Department of Applied Physics, University of Calcutta. During 2006 to 2007, she worked in the Department of Electrical Engineering of Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College as a part-time Faculty. She also acted as a visiting Faculty during 2012-2013 in the Department of Polymer Science & Technology and in 2015-2016 the Department of Applied Physics, University of Calcutta. Presently she is an Assistant Professor (from 2010) in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Budge Budge Institute of Technology, Kolkata. Her research area includes control theory in general and application of ‘alternative’ orthogonal functions like Walsh functions, block pulse functions, triangular functions etc., in different areas of systems and control. She has been pursuing her Ph. D. in the Department of Applied Physics, University of Calcutta and is about to submit her Doctoral thesis in a couple of months. She has published eight (8) research papers in different national and international journals and conferences. She is the second author of the book ‘Analysis and Identification of Time-Invariant Systems, Time-Varying Systems and Multi-Delay Systems using Orthogonal Hybrid Functions: Theory and Algorithms with MATLAB’ published by Springer (Switzerland) in 2016.
