Biosketch

I was born and raised in Ambasamudram, a small town in the southern part of Tamil Nadu, India. I completed my bachelor's course (B.E.) in the department of mechanical engineering at PSG College of Technology (Anna University) in 2011. After graduation, I worked at Larson & Toubro Pvt. Ltd. as an executive engineer for a couple of years. After which, I joined as a M.S. research scholar in the department of engineering design at IIT Madras in 2013 and I continued my doctoral degree. I defended my doctoral thesis in September 2020. After working as a postdoctoral scholar for a couple of years in the Czech Republic, I am currently working as an assistant professor in the school of mechanical sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneshwar.
