I am an Assistant Professor at School of Engineering, JNU, Delhi. I completed my doctoral study in Department of Materials Engineering at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (mentored by Prof. Praveen Kumar). In my doctoral thesis, I investigated the effects of electric current induced electromagnetic forces on the fracture behaviour of pre-cracked thin metallic foils. Before Joining IISc, I completed Bachelor’s degree in Technology (Major: Mechanical Engineering) from National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, India.
I was born and brought up at Dehra, which is a beautiful small town in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. I completed my basic school education there.
Apart from research, I have aesthetic inclinations towards music and travelling and I am married to Dr. Oshin Sharma.
