I have done PhD in mechanical engineering from Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam, Chennai, India. During my post graduation (M. Tech in production engineering) from IIT BHU, Varanasi, India, I developed strong interest to make my career in research and development field. I joined Structural Mechanics Laboratory, IGCAR on Feb 2011 to carry out my research activities as a DGFS Fellow. I have gained expertise in finite element methods and have developed FORTRAN codes for ABAQUS UMAT subroutines to predict linear–nonlinear deformations behavior of cyclic hardening steels. Currently working in the field of thermo-mechanical fatigue and ratcheting behavior of materials. Additionally, I have developed code for predicting temperature dependent thermo-mechanical fatigue behavior, which can appropriately be used during concurrent ratcheting fatigue loading situations.

I, being a graduate in Manufacturing Technology, currently exploring 3D printing,  its applications and mechanical behavior of 3D printed parts. I  have a deep interest to understand the properties and behavior of materials at different loading conditions. A firm understanding of the concepts in applied mechanics had helped me a lot in solving multidisciplinary problems and other practical issues associated with the material behavior under complex loading conditions. My experience and expertise in developing codes for predicting material behaviour considering different loading conditions can be useful for different classes of materials. Appropriate constitutive models for composite materials can be coded in FORTRAN for UMAT subroutines, which I feel I can successfully implement.  I work well in team, am reliable, organized and enthusiastic to learn. 

I am currently working in the field of lithium-ion batteries. Battery thermo-mechnical modeling, battery abuse and its energy and thermal management incuding recycling is my recent domain.
