The city of Mumbai charms every visitor. In particular, its warmth and ethos have remained unchanged over the years. The crowds in the suburban trains and the average person on the street continue to exude this warmth, cutting across social boundaries. Tucked away in the northeast corner of this sprawling metropolis is a still sylvan paradise, where birds chirp, cows moo, monkeys chatter, and the leopard pays periodic visits. And this sylvan paradise hosts an institute of global repute: the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay. In this institute is a group, unique in many ways, with faculty members from across the spectrum of science and engineeringÑelectrical, chemical, mechanical, and aerospace engineering as well as applied mathematicsÑwho have established a much-envied academic entity to be reckoned with: Systems and Control. In this issue of IEEE Control Systems , we speak with Debasish Chatterjee (Convener, Systems and Control, IIT Bombay) and a few others in their group.
