Earlier he worked as a RAMS Manager at Siemens Mobility AG (2017-2022), responsible for RAMS Management of European Train Control System projects. Prior to switching to the railway industry, he worked as a Scientist at two premier national labs, Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI, ETH Board Switzerland) (2009-2017) and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (India) (2002- 2009). Primarily his research focused on dynamic safety assessment, uncertainty management, and risk informed decision making of nuclear power plants. He is also a visiting faculty at several technical institutes.
He has actively been involved in research and development of Reliability and Safety methods and their applications for the last 21 years. His research resulted in more than 70 publications including 4 books, several journal articles and conference papers, with more than 1500 citations.
He received two awards for research Excellency from Society for Reliability Engineering, Quality and Operations Management. He is on the editorial board of three international journals in the area of reliability and risk analysis. He holds bachelor's degree (2000) in electrical and electronics engineering from the Nagarjuna University (India), masters (2002) in Reliability Engineering from Reliability Engineering Centre of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur and Ph.D. (2008) from the IIT Bombay.
Content
System requirements
File format: PDF
Copy protection: Watermark-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Use the free software Adobe Reader, Adobe Digital Editions, or any other PDF viewer of your choice (see eBook Help).
- Tablet/Smartphone (Android; iOS): Install the free app Adobe Digital Editions or another reading app for eBooks, e.g., PocketBook (see eBook Help).

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
