Major Professional Contributions:

Dr. S. V. Kulkarni is Institute Chair Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Dean (Administrative Affairs) at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. He was INAE (Indian National Academy of Engineering) Chair Professor in the Department for two years (April 2018 - March 2020). He is a Fellow of IEEE and INAE. He is also an IEEE PES Distinguished Lecturer. He was Editor of IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery and IEEE Power Engineering Letters (2012-2019). He worked at Crompton Greaves Limited (1990-2001) and specialized in the design and development of transformers up to 400 kV class. He was a recipient of the Young Engineer Award conferred by INAE in 2000 for his contributions to ‘Electromagnetic Field Computations and High Voltage Insulation Design in Transformers’. He was also honoured with the Career Award for Young Teachers from All India Council for Technical Education in 2001. He received Best Paper Awards in international conferences on transformers held in 2002 and 2006. He has authored a book Transformer Engineering: Design, Technology, and Diagnostics, Second Edition, published by CRC Press in September 2012 and he received IIT Bombay Research Dissemination Award 2016 for the book. He has also written a chapter ‘Challenges and Strategies in Transformer Design’ in the book ‘Transformers: Analysis, Design, and Measurement’ published by CRC Press in June 2012. He has adapted an undergraduate text book on electromagnetics for Asia, Principles of Electromagnetics, Oxford University Press, published in October 2015. His extensive interactions with transformer and power industries are reflected in his numerous consultancy projects for them. He has organized several training programs on transformers and computational electromagnetics for engineers from industries and academia in India. He has also set up the Field Computation Laboratory and the Insulation Diagnostics Laboratory in the Electrical Engineering Department at IIT Bombay. He has more than 190 publications to his credit in reputed journals and conferences, and has two US patents. His current areas of research include Analysis and Diagnostics of Power Transformers, Advanced Electromagnetic and Coupled Field Computations, and Distributed Generation and Smart Grids.
