Professor P.K. Garg worked as a Vice Chancellor, Uttarakhand Technical University, Dehradun. Presently he is working in the department of Civil Engineering, IIT Roorkee, as a professor. He completed a B.Tech. (civil engineering) in 1980 and M.Tech. (civil engineering) in 1982, both from the University of Roorkee (now IIT Roorkee). He is a recipient of the Gold Medal at IIT Roorkee to stand first during the M.Tech program, Commonwealth Scholarship Award for doing his Ph.D. at the University of Bristol (UK), and Commonwealth Fellowship Award to carry out post-doctoral research work at the University of Reading (UK). He joined the Department of Civil Engineering at IIT Roorkee in 1982, and gradually advancing, his career rose to the position of Head of the department in 2015 at IIT Roorkee.
Professor Garg has published more than 300 technical papers in national and international conferences and journals. He has undertaken 26 research projects and provided technical services to 83 consultancy projects on various aspects of Civil Engineering, generating funds for the Institute. He has authored three text-books on remote sensing, theory and principles of geoinformatics, and introduction to unmanned aerial vehicles and produced two technical films on the story of mapping. He has developed several new courses and practical exercises in Geomatics Engineering. Besides supervising a large number of undergraduate projects, he has guided about 72 M.Tech. and 27 Ph.D. thesis students. He is instrumental in prestigious MHRD-funded projects on e-learning and the development of virtual labs, pedagogy and courses under NPTEL. He has served as an expert on various national committees, including the Ministry of Environment & Forest; EAEC Committee; NBA (AICTE); and Project Evaluation Committee, DST, New Delhi.
Professor Garg has reviewed a large number of papers for national and international journals. Considering the need to train human resources in the country, he has successfully organized 42 programs in advanced areas of surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing, GIS, and GPS. He has successfully organized ten conferences and workshops. He is a life member of 24 professional societies, out of which he is a fellow of eight societies. For academic work, Professpr Garg has traveled widely, nationally and internationally.
