Professor Shivendra Panwar honored by IIT Kanpur NYU Tandon and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur have long enjoyed a warm relationship. Since 2007, 100 IIT Kanpur undergraduate students have interned in NYU Tandon’s summer research program, and the two schools forged an international partnership for research and education in cybersecurity in 2016. This fall, they launched dual doctoral degree programs in electrical engineering.
One more important thing they have in common: NYU Tandon Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Shivendra Panwar, who attended IITKanpur as an undergraduate, earning a B.Tech degree in electrical engineering in 1981.
This year, Panwar — who directs the NY State Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications (CATT) at NYU Tandon and is also on the faculty of NYU WIRELESS — became the recipient of his alma mater’sDistinguished Services Award, given in recognition of his efforts to further the Institute’s stature and standing.
The Award will be presented, virtually, at IIT Kanpur’s 61st Foundation Day celebration, on November 2.
“It’s gratifying to be honored by my alma mater, which set me on the path to my current position,” Panwar says. “I’m happy to have helped build a strong collaborative relationship between two schools that are both very important to me.”
In another exciting development, this year IIT Kanpur also honored Ranjan Tandon, an ex officio member of our Board, with its Distinguished Alumnus Award. Tandon — the founder and chairman of Libra Advisors and Tandon Family Office — had graduated from IIT in 1972 with a B.Tech degree in mechanical engineering.
He and his wife, Chandrika, who chairs our Board, have been active members of the School of Engineering community for several years — so much so that in 2015 it began bearing their name in recognition of their generosity and dedication.
We’re proud to have built a strong institutional partnership with IIT Kanpur — and even prouder of the personal connections and accomplished people we have in common.

The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both (\_/)
And be one traveler, long I stood (='.'=)
And looked down one as far as I could (")_(")
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim, |\_/|
Because it was grassy and wanted wear; / @ @ \
Though as for that the passing there ( > º < )
Had worn them really about the same, `>>x<<´
/ O \
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
and here's a line of some really, really, really, really long text, just to see how it is handled and to find out how it overflows;
Welcome to image alignment! The best way to demonstrate the ebb and flow of the various image positioning options is to nestle them snuggly among an ocean of words. Grab a paddle and let’s get started.
On the topic of alignment, it should be noted that users can choose from the options of None, Left, Right, and Center. In addition, they also get the options of Thumbnail, Medium, Large & Fullsize. Be sure to try this page in RTL mode and it should look the same as LTR.
The image above happens to be centered.
The rest of this paragraph is filler for the sake of seeing the text wrap around the 150×150 image, which is left aligned.
As you can see the should be some space above, below, and to the right of the image. The text should not be creeping on the image. Creeping is just not right. Images need breathing room too. Let them speak like you words. Let them do their jobs without any hassle from the text. In about one more sentence here, we’ll see that the text moves from the right of the image down below the image in seamless transition. Again, letting the do it’s thang. Mission accomplished!
And now for a massively large image. It also has no alignment.
The image above, though 1200px wide, should not overflow the content area. It should remain contained with no visible disruption to the flow of content.
And we try the large image again, with the center alignment since that sometimes is a problem. The image above, though 1200px wide, should not overflow the content area. It should remain contained with no visible disruption to the flow of content.
And now we’re going to shift things to the right align. Again, there should be plenty of room above, below, and to the left of the image. Just look at him there… Hey guy! Way to rock that right side. I don’t care what the left aligned image says, you look great. Don’t let anyone else tell you differently.
In just a bit here, you should see the text start to wrap below the right aligned image and settle in nicely. There should still be plenty of room and everything should be sitting pretty. Yeah… Just like that. It never felt so good to be right.
And just when you thought we were done, we’re going to do them all over again with captions!
The image above happens to be centered. The caption also has a link in it, just to see if it does anything funky.
Bigger caption than the image usually is.
The rest of this paragraph is filler for the sake of seeing the text wrap around the 150×150 image, which is left aligned.

Comment for massive image for your eyeballs.
The image above, though 1200px wide, should not overflow the content area. It should remain contained with no visible disruption to the flow of content. This massive image is centered.
And again with the big image centered. The image above, though 1200px wide, should not overflow the content area. It should remain contained with no visible disruption to the flow of content.
Feels good to be right all the time.
And now we’re going to shift things to the right align. Again, there should be plenty of room above, below, and to the left of the image. Just look at him there… Hey guy! Way to rock that right side.

And that’s a wrap, yo! You survived the tumultuous waters of alignment. Image alignment achievement unlocked! One last thing: The last item in this post’s content is a thumbnail floated right. Make sure any elements after the content are clearing properly.
This is a paragraph. It should not have any alignment of any kind. It should just flow like you would normally expect. Nothing fancy. Just straight up text, free flowing, with love. Completely neutral and not picking a side or sitting on the fence. It just is. It just freaking is. It likes where it is. It does not feel compelled to pick a side. Leave him be. It will just be better that way. Trust me.
Left Align
This is a paragraph. It is left aligned. Because of this, it is a bit more liberal in it’s views. It’s favorite color is green. Left align tends to be more eco-friendly, but it provides no concrete evidence that it really is. Even though it likes share the wealth evenly, it leaves the equal distribution up to justified alignment.
Center Align
This is a paragraph. It is center aligned. Center is, but nature, a fence sitter. A flip flopper. It has a difficult time making up its mind. It wants to pick a side. Really, it does. It has the best intentions, but it tends to complicate matters more than help. The best you can do is try to win it over and hope for the best. I hear center align does take bribes.
Right Align
This is a paragraph. It is right aligned. It is a bit more conservative in it’s views. It’s prefers to not be told what to do or how to do it. Right align totally owns a slew of guns and loves to head to the range for some practice. Which is cool and all. I mean, it’s a pretty good shot from at least four or five football fields away. Dead on. So boss.
Justify Align
This is a paragraph. It is justify aligned. It gets really mad when people associate it with Justin Timberlake. Typically, justified is pretty straight laced. It likes everything to be in it’s place and not all cattywampus like the rest of the aligns. I am not saying that makes it better than the rest of the aligns, but it does tend to put off more of an elitist attitude.
