I am currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Aerospace Engineering Department of IIT Kanpur (2019 - present). Prior to that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Engineering Science Department of the University of Oxford, UK (2017 - 2019). I completed my PhD from the College of Engineering of Swansea University, UK (2014 - 2017). My research interests and expertise broadly lie in the field of mechanics and multi-physics analysis focusing on mechanical metamaterials and advanced functional composites at multiple length-scales covering forward and inverse problems in engineering that warrant frequent excursions among the boundaries of applied mathematics, physics, probability theory and nanotechnology. The research findings and developments originating from our investigations are regularly published in reputed journals (with publishers like Nature, RSC, IOP, APS, Elsevier, Wiley and Springer), conferences and books. This website is intended to serve as a medium for sharing my research findings as well as for interaction with interested researchers. I would be delighted to share the source codes I have developed during the course of my research for further scientific development in relevant fields. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

I am passionate about high quality research and teaching that matters to the society and mankind. I am a recipient of the Zienkiewicz Scholarship from Swansea University, UK covering full tuition fees at international rate and generous living expenses for pursuing doctoral study. My research work was recognized as the best PhD in engineering among all the departments and colleges of the university. Before moving to UK for pursuing PhD, I received Junior Research Fellowship from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. I was awarded the MHRD Scholarship for completing masters study at the same institute (2011-2013). My master’s thesis in the field of inverse problems was recognized as the best thesis in structures with highest grade. The present focus of my research is on mechanical metamaterials and advanced multi-functional composites encompassing different critical aspects related to solid mechanics, materials and structures.
