Brief Bio

I am currently serving as an Assistant Professor in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science & Technology, Shibpur.

In my previous role, I held the position of Principal Researcher at the Product Application Research Group, R&D, within Tata Steel Limited, Jamshedpur, for over 8 years. My research at Tata Steel primarily focused on the micro-mechanical modelling of deformation in steels and FRP materials tailored for automotive and other diverse applications.

Additionally, I spearheaded projects dedicated to the development of advanced sheet metal forming technology, resulting in the submission of 11 national and international patents, with 5 successfully granted. This work reached a TRL 6 level wherein trials were taken on a prototype automotive component. Currently, I'm working on the development of this technology. Recently, I have initiated research extended to exploring the integration of machine learning applications in computational mechanics, contributing to cutting-edge advancements in the field.

Throughout my career, I have maintained an unyielding commitment to pushing the boundaries of knowledge in my field. By seamlessly integrating academic expertise with practical applications, I aim to make meaningful contributions to the dynamic and ever-evolving realms of materials science and engineering.
