Professor Raj Aggarwal

A Book of Remembrance

We are very sad to report that on the 20th February we lost Emeritus Professor Raj Aggarwal, a member of our community and of the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering for nearly 50 years. He will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him, whether through work, the staff badminton club, the Claverton Rooms or in any other capacity. Our thoughts go out to his wife, daughters and close friends and colleagues. Please feel free to add your words to this book of condolences so that it offers a fitting tribute to Raj’s memory.

Raj was passionate about Badminton and Yoga as much as power system protections. He was remarkably agile in Badminton when he was in his 70s just like the response of protection system.
