About Me:

I am a bachelor degree holder in Civil Engineering with a master degree in Environmental Engineering and doctoral degree in Highway Engineering. My research interests are in the area of water management, sanitation, water and wastewater treatment, and construction and performance of rural roads. Apart from research I am involved in consultancy works in the field of highway engineering and water management. Earlier, I was associated with CART (Now called CREST) and participated in designing rain water harvesting systems for various industries in and around Mysore. At present I am involved as a team member in the activities of Building Fire Research Centre (BFRC), NIE. I was also involved in an experimental rural road project using Nano fibres with professors from Canada under Indo-Canadian Collaboration, IC-IMPACT. During free time I involve in sharing knowledge with trainee engineers at ATI, SIRD, and KERS, and other academic and training institutes in Mysore
