Dear Dr. Shekar,

I am a Professor of Electrical arid Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-

Madison, with research and education interest in the area of electrical energy and sustainability(CV highlights attached). I have been awarded a sabbatical leave during the Spring semester of2015 (award letter attached). During this period, I am interested in an academic residency atyour institute and develop a cotlaborative relationshif with the Center for Renewable Energy

and Sustainable Technologies (CREST). I have developed a tentative plan to engage in thefollowing set of activities, in consultation with the CREST Director Prof. Shamsundar.

1. A 1 or 2 credit interdisciplinary special topics course to be offered at NIE on the subject of renewableenergy (solar, wind, etc.) generation, with a specific focus on prototype design, fabrication, testingand installation of a microhydro generator, rated at about 200-500W.

2. Explore an opportunity to conduct an international workshop on energy systems.3. A proposal to the University of Wisconsin for supporting a three year collaborative project in the area

of microgrid electrification system. The project will establish a Microgrids Outreach Program atCREST/N!E, with integrated community-based research, design, training and field activities.

4. Explore and participate in ongoing Biofuel and Biogas project activities with a focus on processautomation.

5. Offer special lectures for students enrolled in energy and electric engineering degree programs.6. Explore profluctive collaboration activities for other faculty members at NIE7. ldentify and develop road-map for long term collaboration opportunities between NIE and UW-

Madison aimed at student exchange programs, hosting for-credit ccurses, research interactions, jointproject proposals, etc.

Depending in the time-availability and local opportunities and priorities, I expect that some ofthe activities may develop further than the others. I would appreciate if you can provide mewith appropriate facilities at your institute to enable my residency to become a mutuallyrewarding and successful experience. Thank you.

I wi l l also be taking up mymini proJect on microgrid as I have dedicated my time and effort in working for Microgrid at NIE andl 'm very enthusiast to know much rnore about microgrid. Hence to enhance my knowledge onmicrogrid and to gain hands-on experience I would l ike to attend the workshop on hardware andsoftware Simple tlectric Utility Platform using a Microgrid demonstration system at University ofWisconsin-Madison.

The expected visit to UW-Madison is from 26th December 2Ot7 to 8th January 2OL8 i.e. the semesterend hol idays which wil l include hands-on training and one week workshop on hardware andsoftware Simple Electric Utility Platform using a Microgrid demonstration system.

Though the expected visit' is from 26th Dec 2Ot7 to 8th Jan 2018, I would want to extend for another 3days i .e. t i l l 11th January 2018 as the airfare is comparatively cheaper. And the best use of thesbthree days wil l be done by working and gett ing more insight on Microgrid at the Wf UPEC lab.

I will bear th'e expenditure pertaining to the workshop fee, food and accommodation. I will atso want

to explore the funding opportunities available elsewhere and it would be grateful if you could

provide some amount of sponsorship.

Dear professor Shekar,we are exclted to be in dlscussion with you regarding the possiblllty of a collaboraflon betweenthe university of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) and the Natlonal hstltute of Englneerlng(NtE) In Mysuru, Indla. we hope that this initlal correspondence will serve as a solid foundation

\./ on which we can buird a mutuafiy beneficrar part4ership between uw-Madrson and NrE.we are interested In explorinB the possibility ofboth student and faculty development througha uw-Madison - NIE collaboration. our initi;l internal discussions have produced stx posslbleefforts to foster this collaboration:

. 1l student InternshiDs and Academic coooeration: uw-Madison students could take part insummer Internships In Indla and subsequently enroll in courses at NIE taught by vtsiting uw-' Madison faculty. NIE students could enroll in the visitlng lnternational students program inorder to take classes at UW-Madlson

2) visltins Faculw: UW-Madison faculty could travel to Mysuru in order to teach mutualvagreed upon courses at NlE,

3) Research mentorlnr and collaboration: Explore uw-Madlson faculty and staff providingconsultatlon and colleSlal Suldance to NIE faculty about developlng and publishinS theirresearch and increasing theif possibifities for internationar coflaboiation,

I : Explore consulting and assisting

:*lflt.ttion of externat faculty-participants for MS programs, uw-Madison may help

identify and compensate select faculty members to serve as the ,,external facultyrepresentative" on MS and ph.D. thesis committees.

5) : Explore visits by NIE faculty to UW-Madison, visits by faculty and Ph.D. students from UW-fuf rOison and other universities toNIE in order to provide opportunities for NIE faculty to ddvance their research, increase theiropponunities for international collaboration, and improve their teaching.

6) Facultv and Staff Search Advisins: Potential consultation on and assistance with developing'a faculty and staff hiring plan for NIE that is crafted to meet the research and teaching needsof the university, the student body, and the city of Mysuru.

There is already collaborative work being done between UW-Madison and NIE in the MicrogridsPartnetship Project led by myself and NIE Associate Professor Shamsundar, sponsored by UW-Madison's Wisconsin ldea Baldwin Grant program. Throughrdeveloping a partnership with NIE

and NlE,s Center for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technologies (CREST) that engages the

Center,s work on green technologies, there are possibilities for academic and faculty

collaboration, as well as private and public sector spin-offs. The students at NIE and UW-

Madison have shown a keen interest in participating in the ongoing project. Initially we might

center the collaboration efforts on NIE-GREST and expand it to other departments and programs

as it evolves.

We have already started to identify potential sources of funding for this collaboration. Four

possible sources are outlined below:. Technical Education euality lmprovement Programme of India (TEQIP) is being

implemented as a World Bank assisted project to improve the quality of technical education

system in India. TEelp is currently approaching the end of their funding cycle and is seeking

to utilize remaining monies by the end of August. We hope that we might take advantage of

this in order to fund our collaboration.. The unlted states-lndla Educatlonal Foundatlon (uslEF) promotes mutual understanding

between the nationals of India and the U.S. through the educational exchange of

outstanding scholars, professionals, and students. one of USIEF's major activities is serving

as a resource for fostering linkages between higher education institutions in the U.S. and

Inclia. We hope that our cqllaboration could constitute one such linkage.. Infosys, the Indian tech corporation that has positioned itself as a global leader in

consultlng, technology, outsourcing, and next-generation services, is committed to the

success of NlE. This is evidenced by the continued support of N.R. Narayana Murthy - co-

founder of Infosys as well as NIE alumnus - in the development of NlE. We hope that Infosys

could be an enthusiastic supporter of this collaboration as it may serve as a pipeline to bring

more students to NlE, improve the overall quality of education of NlE, and help to prepare

high quality students who may come to work for Infosys in the future.

. Anrerlcan corporations with a multinational presence are interested in enhancing the

cultural literacy of U.S. engineering students. As such, we hope to attract corporations with

tocations in India to serve as'sponsors'of uw-Madison students. These students could

potentially intern at a company's location in India over the summer and subsequently study

at NIE for a semester. We hope that in so doing, American Corporations may

simultaneously: support our specific partnership, contribute to the greater common good of

the Republic of India, and benefit from the international cultural literacy which such a

collaboration will engender.. UW-Madison,s Expatrlate Alumnl Base may potentially provide contributions to promote

the continuation of collaborative international proJects such as the one proposed here' we

hope to work with diaspora alumni in order to draw from uw-Madison's extensive

. internationalPresence.

fhu idu* above are a starting point to be refined and expanded in what we hope to become a

strong collaboration between our two institutions. we are excited to develop these ideas with

NIE .
