I am an accomplished Mechanical Engineer and Researcher holding a Ph.D. from IIT BHU (Varanasi), an M.Tech in Materials Engineering from NIT Durgapur, and a B.E. from RGPV, Bhopal.
My research is centred on Friction Stir Welding & Cladding, where I pioneered a multi-pass FSW technique to deposit copper on mild steel substrates for corrosion protection. I have authored 11 peer-reviewed journal papers in high-impact Q1 journals with a cumulative H-Index of 6.
I am currently serving as faculty at Centurion University of Technology and Management, Odisha (NIRF 201–300).
