Introduction [Biosketch]

  • I have completed my B.Tech in Civil Engineering from S.V.University, Tirupathi, Andhra Pradesh in 1999 and M.Tech in Structural & Construction Engineering from Kakatiya University, Warangal, Telangan in 2004. Later Pursued Phd from National Institute of Technology Warangal, Telangana in 2012. My research work was “Behaviour of Tie Confined Fiber Reinforced Self Compacting Recycled Aggregate concrete”. At Present working as an Associate Professor, Civil Engineering Department, NIT, Silchar. Currently I have published 30 numbers of national/international journal of reputed, more than 35 national/international conference of reputed, 9 numbers of book chapter and 4 patents were published and aslo successfully guided 4 Ph.D. scholars, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in the field of Civil Engineering. As I have working experience in the field as associate dean planning & development, interested to teach subject like Advanced Concrete technology, Contract Management and Arbitration, Strategic Management in Construction, Design of Concrete Structures etc.,
  • Finally, it is critical to note that classes and workshops that feature pedagogical issues are a priority to me, and I hope to continue taking courses similar to those I have had at Nit, Silchar (Teaching Undergraduate and Working at Teaching Seminar) in the future. I hold myself to the same standards that I hold my students. That is, I strive to become a skilled thinker and learner, and I believe that this process is life-long.

Areas of Interest

  • Structural Engineering, Earthquake Engineering, Concrete Materials, Sustainable Development, Fiber Reinforced Concrete, Self Compacting Concrete, Low Cost Housing.
