The institute embodied with Holistic planning and design to facilitate new-age space requirements and an institute which gives a platform to discuss social science problems. My thirteen years into academics, teaching students that by integrating building sciences and human comfort in their design ideology, goes a long way in energy-efficient buildings and resource conservation. Though science offers options and advises through research, but the utilisation of the research is only successful when it is widely adopted by the industry and society. &nbsp;</span></p>

Alongside Design Studios consisted of applying climate responsive building strategies, Energy efficient building codes (ECBC), renewable energy resources at site, building and component scale. By preparing Environmental Management Plan (EMP), planning policies, environmental law, Environment Impact Plan (EIA), importance of rain water harvesting, decentralized waste water system and proper garbage disposal are few of the curriculum requirement. My final year PG Thesis topic- &ldquo; A Study Of Waste To Energy From Municipal Solid Waste For Pune City : A Roadmap For Emerging City &ndash; Aurangabad &rdquo; was selected and shortlisted for the prestigious Master of Architecture National Thesis Award by National Institute of Advanced Studies in Architecture (NIASA). I also had the opportunity to present my paper related to my thesis at National Conference on Emerging Trends in Architecture, Technology &amp; Allied Fields (NCETATA-2016), for which my research got special mention. Having said that, my Ph.D. (submitted) is related to incorporating wind speed in High-rise fenestration. My Ph.D. work has won best paper award, and are published in Q1 journal.</span></p>

Coming from Army background, exposed me to variety of people, lifestyle and their ability to adapt. My Faculty application to the premier institute of India- NICMAR, I see not only a career move but a partnership&mdash;an opportunity to contribute to an institution that prepares future leaders of the built environment. I am confident that my academic experience, research orientation, and commitment to sustainable design would meaningfully support this vision while allowing me to grow within a dynamic and forward-looking academic community.</span></p>
