My name is Akshay Chavan, and I am an Assistant Professor specializing in design education with a multidisciplinary foundation in engineering and transportation design. I currently serve as an Academic Coordinator and MOOC Coordinator, contributing to curriculum development, academic planning, and digital learning initiatives within the institution.

 
My journey from a B.E. in Chemical Engineering to an M.Des in Transportation Design has shaped my approach to teaching—combining analytical problem-solving with creative exploration. My areas of interest include Visual Communication, Product Design, Physical Modelling, Concept Generation, Illustration, and Caricature, through which I guide students in building strong visual language, ideation processes, and form development skills. 

I remain committed to fostering accessible, process-driven, and holistic design education. Through my academic roles and creative pursuits, I strive to encourage curiosity, structured exploration, and meaningful engagement with design among students.
