Pandarasamy Arjunan (Samy)


I am an Assistant Professor at the Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber-Physical Systems (RBCCPS), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral scholar at the Berkeley Education Alliance for Research in Singapore(BEARS) Limited, a research center of the University of California, Berkeley, located in Singapore. I worked for the SinBerBEST 2 program (Theme D: Data Analytics for the Built Environment) under Prof. Kameshwar Poolla. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), India, under the guidance of Dr. Amarjeet Singh and Prof. Pushpendra Singh. Before that, I received my Master’s degree in computer applications from Madurai Kamaraj University, Tamilnadu, India.

My current research interests lie in the intersection of Cyber-Physical Systems and Data Science and their applications pertaining to smart built environments and energy sustainability. Specifically, I focus on developing systems and techniques for energy monitoring, benchmarking, prediction, anomaly detection, and fault detection and diagnosis by leveraging smart meter time series and other opportunistic data sources. I have recently started investigating how to leverage Infrared Thermography (IRT) for city-scale building diagnostics and energy auditing.
