Malabika
Basu graduated from Bengal Engineering College, Shibpur,
India (Now Bengal Engineering and Science University) in 1995 with a B.E. in
Electrical Engineering. She topped the University among all branches of
Engineering in her Masters in 1997, with specialization in Electrical Machines.
She then joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of
Technology, Kanpur, India as a research scholar, where she received her Ph.D.
in January, 2003, for her work on unified power quality conditioner.
In,
February, 2001 Malabika joined the Department of Electrical Engineering, Jadavpur University at Calcutta as a lecturer. In
2003, she joined the School of Electrical Engineering Systems of Dublin
Institute of Technology in Ireland as Arnold. F. Graves postdoctoral fellow.
Since October 2006, Malabika joined the school as permanent academic staff
member.
