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.

Projects Associated:   

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

by Saint-Gobain Research Institute

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

·       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

Teaching Activities:

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 defined learning objectives. Furthermore, I contribute to planning instructional programs by coordinating my teaching sessions in partnership with my supervisor. Within this structure, educators participate in preparing, grading, and evaluating assignments and exams, and subsequently provide constructive feedback to students.
