B. Ashok stared his professional career as specialist engineer in Vehicle Electrical and Electronics at M/S. Force Motors India Ltd, Pune after his M.Tech degree. During his tenure, he played a lead role in the implementation of electronic control for BS IV engine and Antilock Braking System (ABS) in the vehicle portfolio. After the one and half year tenure he has joined in Automotive Department of VIT University as Assistant Professor. During his doctoral research work, he has developed a low cost virtual sensor for the throttle position sensing application for IC engine using various soft computing techniques. His expertise in Mechatronics engineering domain helps to evolve the novel interdisciplinary research in the areas of automotive electronics and automotive engineering system. His current research work focus on the development of motor controller for the Electric vehicle application using soft computing techniques.
