Background

About Sanjay Goel

My education and work experience has been very multidisciplinary - Computer Science, EE Engg, Physics, Humanities and social sciences. At BITS, Pilani, I studied Physics and Engg (Electrical & Electronics), At IIT D, I studied Comp. Tech. The missing gap in my exposure to humanities and social sciences was filled up at IGNCA, where for many years, I worked very closely with some eminent experts of HSS to explore novel ways of using IT in these disciplines. Later, My PhD thesis was in the field of software development education. I have enjoyed my work as an educator, designer, researcher, software engineer, and leader. Since 1988, I have taught many courses to students at NSIT, DCE, IMT, DU, JIIT, and even at JKLU. of these students have been very talented; they stimulated and challenged me to expand my circumference. I owe my learning to them. Because of my work for the UNDP project at IGNCA and organisation of annual International Conference on Contemporary Computing (IC3) at JIIT, I have been lucky to work with a large number of eminent international scholars in various fields.
