Philosophy

I enjoy life-long learning and applying them in my life, as I firmly believe in the philosophy

“Education is not for living, but for life” 

– Sri Sathya Sai Baba

This is evident in the course of my professional life thus far, making a conscious choice of newer interdisciplinary topics of my interest and thus embracing a new set of challenges to deal with. This experiment has not only given me the joy of learning from the unexplored, but along the way allowed me to comprehend the latent connections that co-exist between several scientific topics and discourses. 

Vision

1. creative thinking through ideation, conceptual co-design and development workshops;

2. sustainable thinking through enabling understand the connection to SDG via potential to decarbonize, conserve energy, resource optimization;

3. risk and resilient thinking by applying safety and security science to develop scenarios, anticipate failures/threats/vulnerabilities, model risks and frameworks to assess robustness and resilience; and

4. finally, responsible thinking by applying systems approach, which an objective to judiciously balance all the above. 

Pedagogy

My teaching pedagogy thrusts on an experiential learning process. This includes among others.
