WELCOMING NEW FACULTY MEMBERS




        The Departments of Electrical Engineering and Electronics and Communication Engineering
        have recently recruited fresh talent to increase its Student-Teacher ratio, and to bring fresh
        ideas and methodologies into the teaching process. DTU Times interviewed the new faculty,
        and here are the excerpts.
