My service in NIE started in March 1988 as a lecturer. I was promoted as senior lecturer in 1993 and Selection grade lecturer in 1998. I am serving as professor from 2009 to date. My Primary research interests are in Fatigue studies of Metal Matrix and Polymer Matrix composites. However, I am also quite interested in studies on wear and fracture of composite materials due to relationship between fatigue, wear and fracture. One of my doctoral student successfully completed his research in studies on fracture toughness of polymer matrix composites while two of my doctoral students are working in the area of fatigue of thermo plastic composites and metal matrix hybrid composites.

I was instrumental in setting up Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Centre(IEDC) in 2010, Which was funded by Govt.of India, DST, to the tune of Rs.47 Lakhs. The IEDC Project was successfully completed in 2015 and 14 innovative projects carried out were applied for patent the details of which are given below.

I headed the Mechanical Department from Jan 2016 to Sept 2019. Under my supervision, The Siemens Technical Centre was set up in March 2019 with the funding from TEQIP III, to train UG/PG students to develop skills for design of automobiles, ships and aeroplanes. I was also supervising the research activities of NIE as dean R&D for a brief tenure from Sept 2019 to March 2020.Other than my research and student supervision I am also actively involved in the activities of Entrepreneurship and Start ups. I also teach number of courses the details of which are given below.
