About Me:

I worked as a estate officer from 2001-2009. Primary responsible in the execution of Diamond jubilee sports complex, NIEIT campus, refurbishment of boy’s hostel and girl’s hostel, seminar halls at GJLTC, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan hall, placement office to name a few. Worked as a training and placement officer from 2011-2014. At the department level, successfully completed the responsibility of internship coordinator from 2013-2019 and coordinator for laboratories, civil engineering association staff advisor. Actively involved in the field of geotechnical engineering as a researcher, guide and active geotechnical consultant. Currently guiding five PhD students for the doctoral program. Conducted many national workshops/seminars/webinars/SDP/FDP. I have published around thirty articles in peer reviewed journals/conference proceedings.
