About me

Introduction	I am Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering at the University of Louisville, a Visiting Professor of Management at the Gatton College of Business and Economics, University of Kentucky, and President and CEO of Louisville-based Six Sigma and Advanced Controls, Inc. During my 30+ years at U of Louisville, I have supervised 20 doctoral and 40 master’s students and have published 100 papers & presentations, and 6 textbooks. I was probably the first to introduce six sigma in a college curriculum in the U. S. and India. Partnering with a prestigious B School in Pune, India, we recently established Six Sigma Excellence Awards for corporate India, the first of their kind in the world. I have carried out extensive studies of the cyclical theory of the rise and decline of cultures and the interpretations of zero, infinity, and the varna concept. More recently, I carried out a scientific (six sigma) study of Pranayam, a system of yogic breathing exercises for improving health and reducing heathcare costs with promising results.
