Area of expertise

Research Interests:

My research centers on the behavior of construction materials through microstructural characterization. I investigate their properties and reaction kinetics to develop innovative, sustainable solutions for the construction sector, with a focus on new binding systems in concrete technology. I am also interested in Design and Modelling, FEA simulations, 3D Printing, and Robotics, aiming to apply these technologies for optimization in construction projects.

Research Experience:

I have a strong background in industry-funded research projects that address real-world challenges across various sectors. These experiences have honed my technical skills and required innovative strategies tailored to specific industry needs. Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams has enhanced my communication, workflow management, and adaptability. Overall, my professional experiences have expanded my technical knowledge and deepened my understanding of translating research into impactful, market-driven solutions, bridging the gap between academia and industry. I have worked on the following projects: 

·       Performance Evaluation of Biomass Ash-Based Binders for Building Applications, funded

by Saint-Gobain Research Institute, IIT Madras

·       Biomass as an Alternative Fuel for SCM Processing, funded by FLSmidth,

IIT Madras

·       Development of Waterless Extra-Terrestrial Concrete Using Martian Regolith, funded by

EXTEM at IIT Madras

·       Low Carbon Cement project funded by Swiss Development and Cooperation,

IIT Delhi

Teaching Experience:

I was assigned the responsibility of developing and providing educational materials for a range of modules. This role involved designing and implementing instructional resources suited for various environments, from small-group discussions to large-scale conferences, incorporating written content and necessary learning tools. I strive to align the content, teaching methods, and educational resources with the learning objectives. Furthermore, I contribute to planning instructional programs by coordinating my teaching sessions in partnership with my supervisor. Within this structure, educators prepare, grade, and evaluate assignments and exams, and subsequently provide constructive feedback to students.
