Ashis is currently busy with identifying and developing position strategies, making policies, setting up infrastructure and labs, hiring, PR, tie ups with industries and universities and developing course curriculum. Ashis is the convenor of the Advisory committee which has been established to support the shaping of the Institute of ICT.

Position at Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands:
Research Fellow
Ashis is a research fellow with Technical University of Delft, The Netherland.

Profile
For over the past decade Ashis has been involved in researching consulting and teaching, in the area of Human computer Interaction with reputed universities, companies and research labs across the globe. Ashis advocates establishing the role of HCI design in new product and technology development towards generating user centered solutions and works also on technology transfer issues to application sectors such as Healthcare, E- Governance, E-education. Her research/teaching/Consulting competencies include leading collaborative technology development between multidisciplinary teams, cognitive workflow integration in information systems, design for complex workspace, system design, UI/ information visualization/architecture, and decision support. She is especially interested in the design and development of healthcare devices.

Ashis was a Doctoral researcher at Industrial Design Engineering, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands.  Where Ashis as a Marie Curie Fellow (FP6) received her doctorate in the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) in a European Union funded research project in a Pan European network called Augmenting Reality in Surgery. Her thesis was titled 'Workflow Driven Decision Support Systems: A case of an intra-operative visualization system for surgeons'. She has master's degree with Cuma Laude, from the Industrial Design Center, IIT Bombay, India. She has worked and consulted for companies such as SAP AG, Germany, NCR Scotland, MTNL-India, Samsung-Korea , Phillips healthcare, Netherlands. She has published in journals and conferences such as design studies, biomedical informatics, American medical informatics, IEEE, human decision making and control, computer assisted radiological imaging and is a reviewer of several scientific journal and conferences.

   Co authored: Dr. Ashis Jalote-Parmar and Dr. Vikram Singh Parmar.
   Sponsor: Netherlands organization -ZonMw Stimuleert 
   Area: Healthcare: ICT enabled mobile healthcare

 Research Fellowships

1. Madame Curie fellowship-(FP6)
   Sponsor: European Union (EU)  Pan EU networked project "Augmented Reality in Surgery", Pan europen project- with 6 Technology partners (Medical Imaging- Augmented reality, Robotic) and 2 medical partners (Minimaly Invasive Surgeries)
   Tenure: 2005-2009
   Area: To provide the doctor with decision support for treatment by communicating comprehensive information from multiple sources, to guide the procedure by means of visual and haptic feedback. Guidance is based on several imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, MRI and video-endoscopy. Through this research, a group of young researchers is being trained to work internationally and multidisciplinary. The team is working across the boarders of medical interventions, information and communication technology development, and user interface design.
