<p data-start="235" data-end="706">Teaching construction management has never been just a profession for me&mdash;it has been a responsibility. A responsibility to prepare future engineers and managers who will shape infrastructure, cities, and the built environment of our country. With an M.E. in Construction Engineering and Management, ongoing doctoral research in BIM EXECUTION PLANNING (BEP), and experience as an Assistant Professor, I am deeply motivated to contribute to NICMAR&rsquo;s academic ecosystem.</p>
<p data-start="708" data-end="1218">My academic journey began with a strong interest in understanding why construction projects often face delays and cost overruns despite the availability of advanced tools and technologies. During my postgraduate studies, I developed a solid foundation in project planning, scheduling, cost control, and construction management principles. However, I also realized that technical knowledge alone is not sufficient&mdash;what truly matters is how information is managed and decisions are made during project execution.</p>
<p data-start="1220" data-end="1808">Currently, as an Assistant Professor, I teach courses related to Construction Planning, Scheduling, and Management. In the classroom, I strive to go beyond theory. I integrate real-life case discussions, project-based assignments, and digital tools like scheduling software to make learning practical and engaging. I encourage students to think critically about resource optimization, risk management, and performance monitoring rather than just memorizing concepts. Seeing students connect classroom knowledge with real-world challenges is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career.</p>
<p data-start="1810" data-end="2269">Parallel to my teaching, I am pursuing my PhD in Built Environment Planning, where my research focuses on improving project performance through structured information management and data-driven decision-making. My work explores how better planning, monitoring frameworks, and digital integration can strengthen execution efficiency. Through research and publications, I aim to contribute meaningfully to the evolving domain of construction project management.</p>
<p data-start="2271" data-end="2753">NICMAR&rsquo;s practice-oriented curriculum, strong industry connections, and focus on professional excellence align perfectly with my academic philosophy. I admire how NICMAR bridges academia and industry, ensuring students are not only technically sound but also managerially competent. I am particularly interested in contributing to curriculum development, mentoring student research, organizing industry-interactive workshops, and participating in collaborative research initiatives.</p>
<p data-start="2755" data-end="3054">I believe that education in construction management should develop leaders who are analytical, ethical, and adaptable to technological change. At NICMAR, I see an opportunity to grow alongside a dynamic academic community while contributing through teaching, research, and institutional development. For me, joining NICMAR would not just be a career milestone&mdash;it would be a meaningful step toward shaping future professionals who will build responsibly, manage efficiently, and lead confidently in the construction and infrastructure sector. I sincerely look forward to the opportunity to contribute to and grow with NICMAR</p>
