With 5 years of post-PhD work experience in research, teaching and enterprise, I joined as an Assistant Professor in Manufacturing Science and Engineering. Working in top Australian (UNSW Sydney), top UK (Manchester, Nottingham and Leeds) and top Indian universities (IIT Kharagpur and JU) instilled within me a sense of passion toward innovative and applied scientific research.

Over the past 4 years, I have developed the Advanced Composites Engineering (ACE) Laboratory at the Training Workshop of Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kharagpur. The laboratory is now drawing popularity across the globe, owing to the dedication, passion and self-motivation of some of the finest PhD and JRF scholars I have. Nonetheless, the enthusiasm of BTech and MTech students in their term projects is a plus. The laboratory was incepted in a classroom of 70 sqm and has farther expanded to an effective area of 85 sqm. This was not possible without the funding support of IIT Kharagpur, SERB, DRDO, ISRO, and Ministry of Textiles. On behalf of ACE Lab, we invite faculties, researchers and industrialists across the boundaries to visit our lab and try hands-on with fabrication of composites.

I am also associated with Machine Tools and Machining Lab as a Joint PIC, Surface and Coatings Lab and Friction Stir Welding Lab as Joint Supervisor of PhD scholars.
