I owns a perfect blend of experimental and computational skills required for quality research output. My research findings have been published in international journals of high repute and in conferences held both in India and abroad.
Post Ph.D., I joined the Structure and Fatigue COE, R&D of Honeywell Technology Solutions, India as Tech Lead responsible for the design and development of automotive components operating at high temperature and aggressive environment. I was focal for many critical customers such as AUDI, Volkswagen, John Deer, Daimler etc. in solving crack issues arising due to Thermo-mechanical fatigue. My efforts have always been appreciated in supporting them technically. Having been in research (MS+PhD) and post PhD in Industry for many years, I have decided to continue my research and teach latest technology to the young engineers. Hence, I have joined BITS-Pilani as assistant professor in the dept. of Mechanical Engineering.
