About

Having completed my graduation in Civil Engineering from Global Academy of Technology, Bangalore in 2011 and my master's in Geotechnical Engineering at U.V.C.E., Bangalore 2013, I started my career as Senior Research Fellow (SRF) at IISc, Bangalore for 8 months. Later on I went on to pursue my Ph.D. degree at NITK Surathkal in 2014 and was awarded in 2017. After which I joined as an Assistant Professor at The National Institute of Engineering, Mysuru and served for 3 years. After which I have been practicing as an geotechnical consultant and involved as a trainer for L&T C-TEA Mysuru. Currently serving in the department of Civil Engineering at BMSCE from December 2021.

I have delivered lectures as resource person at other engineering colleges, was reviewer and session chair for international conferences.
Have delivered lectures to RDPR engineers and Forest Department in government sector at Mysuru and handled sessions for FLS, GETs, GETs at L&T CTEA Mysuru.
I am also an reviewer in 6 international journals of Elsevier publications
