Prof. Arun Mehta, President, Bidirectional Access Promotion Society (BAPSI), India
I obtained a B. Tech degree from IIT Delhi in 1975,
a Masters in Computer Sciences from the State
University of Stony Brook in two semesters
thereafter with the equivalent of a 4.0 GPA. I then
worked with Siemens AG in Erlangen, Germany for
three years, designing the electricals, electronics
and process control software for steel rolling
mills. In 1979, I returned to Mumbai, India, where I
designed and marketed hard wired and programmable
solutions for a large variety of industrial control
problems. In 1982 I joined the PhD program of the
Ruhr University, Bochum, Germany, as a fellow of the
Friedrich Ebert Foundation. My solution for a
time-optimal crane controller demonstrated a 5%
improvement in the throughput of a 35-ton grab crane
at Hamburg-Wedel, and was also presented at the
World Congress of the International Federation of
Automatic Control in Munich, 1987. I was awarded the
"Dr.-Ing" title the same year.
On returning to India, I became the Managing
Director of Indata Com Private Limited, in which
capacity I write software, teach, and provide
consultancy services. My clients include Tata Iron
and Steel Ltd, Jamshedpur, and the University of
Pittsburgh, for whom I developed software that helps
in the early detection of Alzheimers' disease. I
have written extensively for publications in India,
Pakistan, the US and Germany. In 2000, I started
radiophony.com together with Vickram Crishna, a .com
dedicated to audio-centric solutions to the problems
of the under-privileged. At the request of Professor
Stephen Hawking, I wrote eLocutor, free and open
source software that allows persons as severely
disabled as him to write and speak. I have taught
programming as a volunteer at the National
Association for the Blind, helping my students
become members of international development teams of
cutting edge software that will help improve the
lives of not just the blind.
Currently, my passion is software that might make it
easier for children with autism, cerebral palsy and
dyslexia to communicate, which is being made
available free of cost at skid.org.in and documented
at arpitblog.wordpress.com. This software received
the Manthan Award in 2008.
I have conducted three workshops, each a week long,
with autistic children and their care givers, to
find ways that persons with severe communication
disorders might learn to use the computer to
communicate. I mentor a few students at school and
college level with severe disabilities, helping them
with their computing problems, even writing special
software to make it easier for them to communicate.
From 1989 to 1991, I was President of the Indian
section of Amnesty International, and have since
been at the forefront of initiatives to improve
cyber rights and telecommunications policy, to allow
rapid spread of the benefits of information
technologies to all segments of society. I am part
of the ONI-Asia project, in which I am seeking to
make the monitoring of Internet filtering in India
sustainable.
I moderate several Internet discussion groups, most
notably india-gii@cpsr.org which brings together
experts from academia, government, industry and the
media to critically examine India's bumpy progress
along the information highway.
I am a professor and chairman of the computer
engineering department at JMIT, Radaur, an
engineering college in rural Haryana, 180km from
Delhi. I have taught Pascal, PL/1, Visual Basic,
Ruby, Perl, C and C++ programming, as well as web
technologies, including Ruby on Rails.
I have co-authored a book "Technology and
Competitiveness", which was published by Sage, and
compares the machine tool industries of Brazil and
India. In 2007, O'Reilly published "Beautiful Code",
in which the world's leading programmers, including
Brian Kernighan and Matz, contributed a chapter
each. In this Jolt-award winning book, I am proud
author of a chapter on eLocutor, entitled "When a
button is all that connects you to the world." |
