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 am also a Tutor for HL7 e-learning course [5] and the Chair, Education Committee of HL7 India.

I have been among the first wave of Editors invited to join Citizendium. Subsequently, I have been the first Secretary and the second Chair of the Editorial Council.
