About


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, spanning the period from 2015 to 2023. My research primarily focused on the micromechanical modeling of deformation in steels tailored for automotive and diverse applications. Additionally, I spearheaded projects dedicated to the development of advanced forming technology for sheet metal forming, resulting in the submission of 8 national and international patents, with 3 successfully granted. 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.

Before my industry engagement, I served as a Research Associate in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Within the Materials Engineering Group, I collaborated closely with the esteemed Prof. Norman Fleck and Prof. Vikram Deshpande, delving into computational research to enhance our understanding of fracture mechanisms in metals.

My academic journey culminated in the successful completion of a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 2013. Under the expert guidance of Prof. Sumit Basu and Prof. Sandeep Sangal, I focused my research on computational mechanics, contributing significantly to the evolving landscape of materials science and engineering.

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.
