Welcome to my website: Currently, Iam working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore. Prior to that, I worked as a Post-doctoral Researcher in Intelligent Materials Systems Lab, Saarland University, Saarbrucken, Germany. My research is mainly focussing on developing smart material-based structures. I have received my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Specialized in Continuum Mechanics) from IIT-Roorkee in 2022. 

My main areas of interest include Soft materials mechanics, Dynamics of minimum energy structures made up of electroactive polymers. Iam a highly motivated dynamic scholar and fully dedicated to the original research. Iam regularly writes and reviews articles for various peer-reviewed international journals and conferences. Based on the aforementioned work, I have documented several scientific articles in international journals of high repute (20 articles) as well as conference papers (3 papers; 2-lead author, and 1-co-author). Iam  the recipient of DST Inspire Faculty Fellowship 2022 from Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India. Iam also the recipient of the Ratan Prakash Memorial Gold Medal (2017) for standing First at M.Tech. (Applied mechanics). 

Besides the thesis work, I have been actively involved in various research works in collaboration with Prof. Zurlo, National University of Ireland, Galway on stability analysis of wrinkling in dielectric membrane and with Prof. Mukhopadhyay, University of Southampton, UK on nonlinear analysis of electro-magneto-active thin membranes.
