Dr. V. Sundar is a Professor in Department of Ocean Engineering, IIT Madras. Prof. Sundar has supervised more than 20 Ph.D. theses. He has about 450 publications in conferences and journals to his credit. He is a member of the editorial board for 10 international journals and has reviewed a number technical papers submitted to peer reviewed journals. He was bestowed with the prestigious honorary doctorate award by University of Wuppertal, Germany. Recognizing his contributions to the field of Coastal Engineering, The International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research, IAHR, elected him as Chairman of its Asia Pacific division in 2006. His reports on the master plan for the two maritime states, Tamil Nadu and Kerala in connection with coastal protection including the important socio economic aspects and tsunami mitigation measures remain as the basic document for their planning and implementation by the respective state governments.
