Fountain Head

  Greetings  My name is Senthil  Kumar Anantharaman, and I stand before you as a learner, educator, researcher, and professional whose journey has been shaped by a diverse blend of engineering, management, analytics, and real-world problem-solving. Today, I take this opportunity to briefly walk you through the milestones and motivations that have defined my academic and professional life. Born and raised in India, I began my educational pursuit from 1989 with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering   in 1993 from   Sardar Vallabhai Regional Engg College ( Earlier Under South Gujarat University ), Currently known as SVNIT an institute of National Importance.   I graduated in first-class with distinction. But my curiosity and aspirations took me beyond borders.   From 1994,    I joined masters program in industrial engg at Penn State , university Park, PA, USA and In 1996, I earned my Master’s in Industrial Engineering from The Pennsy...

I finished my Doctorate (so-called Ph.D.) in 2022 at 50 and worked as a faculty in two universities, one deemed to be a university in the central north part of India and the other, a renowned private university in the Southwest Bay part of India. It looks like I am renewing my life, but that is far from the truth.

First of all, Was I sane, starting my Ph.D. (at that time FPM) which was a more friendly titular program) in supposed to be one of India's premier institutes., maybe to some extent. Otherwise, I would not have sat and stayed, studied full time in a research institute filled up with geek's perplexities and painstaking even during COVID-19, completing my thesis in a completel...
