Manpreet pursued his internship at IIT Ropar (Oct to Nov 2012) and worked to propose a cheaper and efficient model of Hybrid Power System under the co-supervision of Dr. K. Vijayaraghavan (SFU), and Dr H. Tyagi (IIT Ropar), as a part of SFU’s BC-India mobility initiative. His interests lie in improving the old methodologies in the field of renewable energy resources. At that time Manpreet was a third year student pursuing electronics engineering from Simon Fraser University, Canada.

Sagar received B.Tech degree from Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana, Punjab (2014-18). He later worked as JRF at IIT Ropar in a DBT sponsored research project in the field of solid tumour targeting using homing peptides and plasmonic photothermal technique, under the supervision of Dr. Himanshu Tyagi & Prof. Sarit K. Das. As part of the work performed by him at IIT Ropar, he and his co-authors were awarded the Prof. Y. V. N. Rao Best Paper Award for the paper titled "Numerical Study of Nanoparticle Injection in Tumors for Nanoparticle-assisted Hyperthermia", at the 8th International and 47th National Conference on Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Power (FMFP), IIT Guwahati, Assam, India, Dec 2020. At present he is working as a mechanical design engineer in SPM (Special Purpose Machine) design and automation at KGOC Global, Ludhiana, Punjab, India.
