Biography
As a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Dr. N.G.P. Institute of Technology, With over 14 years of teaching experience, I have been actively involved in engineering education, student mentoring and their career development. A strong interest in advanced manufacturing technologies, production systems and entrepreneurship development motivates the particiaption of students in various events and completion of various projects. My research area includes the composite materials, polymer composites and modern machining. Received the grants for the completion of students projects from various government bodies. Successfully completed the PM YUVA Yojana Course (WFNEN 100), actively participated and organized the Entrepreneurship Awareness Camps. These initiatives have enhanced the understanding of entrepreneurial practices and innovation-driven approaches.
