I am an interdisciplinary management scientist interested in analytics-driven research that addresses the problems of R&D, Innovation, and technology-intensive organizations. I joined DIAT, Pune, India, in August 2023 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Technology Management.
Prior to this, I contributed to a project at RuTAG IIT Delhi, focusing on the development of frustum-shaped porous vessels for subsurface irrigation. Trained in Applied Machine Learning, I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur. The central theme of my PhD was Product development and its management; where I integrated statistical modeling, engineering, and quality management principles to design and develop an innovative Green water filter tailored for rural India. This research work extended beyond theoretical frameworks, earning recognition in the MRS Bulletin for its contribution towards a simple yet high-tech solution to India’s water pollution.
Subsequently, I began looking at issues of sustainable waste management by utilizing predictive analytics to design porous systems from biowaste for wastewater treatment in close collaboration with environmental scientists and engineers. One of our collaborative research endeavors culminated in a publication in Nature.
My current research is on two broad but interrelated areas: (a) R&D and Innovation, with a focus on Risk Management, Technology Forecasting, and Product & Project Management, and (b) the Role of Human-in-the-Loop (HITL), allowing for a harmonious collaboration between machine intelligence and human expertise for complex decision-making in defense, PSUs, and Industrial Organizations.
I have been teaching courses in R&D and Innovation Management, Data Analysis for Decision Making, and Artificial Intelligence in Management for the M.Tech Course. I have conducted internships and training programs, organized workshops on Data Visualization Tools and Data-Driven Insights in Management Practices.
