Hi there!! When I began my career as an undergraduate student, I had little idea of where I was heading. I decided to join the civil engineering department in IIT Guwahati for my masters due to a long-standing interest in the former and my strength in the latter. The interest in later stage involved me more and further I continued as PhD research scholar.
I have done my doctoral thesis work under the supervision of "Dr. Bimlesh Kumar" Professor in Civil Engineering Dept. at IIT Guwahati. The title of my thesis is "Hydrodynamics and Morphology around Bridge Piers in Seepage Affected Alluvial Channel". We have studied flow field around single and tandem bridge piers in seepage affected alluvial channel and also studied the consequence of downward seepage on scour geometry around piers.
Right now I am working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
