<p data-start="209" data-end="730">I am writing to express my sincere interest in the position of Assistant Professor at NICMAR University. I have recently submitted my Ph.D. thesis in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Sustainable Concrete Technology at&nbsp;<span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline">SRM Institute of Science and Technology</span>&nbsp;and am currently awaiting my public viva voce examination. My academic background, research experience, and commitment to sustainable infrastructure development align strongly with NICMAR&rsquo;s focus on construction management and industry-oriented education.</p>
<p data-start="732" data-end="1564">My doctoral research focuses on enhancing the utilization of Construction and Demolition (C&amp;D) waste in structural concrete to promote sustainability in the construction sector. The study investigates treatment methods to improve the quality of recycled coarse aggregates and optimize their performance using statistical approaches such as Central Composite Design (CCD). The objective has been to develop durable and structurally reliable concrete while reducing dependence on natural aggregates. The research also explores alternative fine materials with beneficial thermal and environmental characteristics to further enhance sustainability. The work integrates experimental investigations, material characterization, and structural performance evaluation, aiming to develop high-performance, resource-efficient concrete systems.</p>
<p data-start="1566" data-end="2138">Through this research journey, I have gained strong exposure to laboratory experimentation, mix design optimization, performance assessment, and analytical interpretation of results. These experiences have strengthened my technical foundation in Concrete Technology, Construction Materials, and Sustainable Construction Practices. I am particularly interested in teaching subjects related to concrete technology, building materials, and research methodology, where I can effectively connect theoretical concepts with practical applications and current industry challenges.</p>
<p data-start="2140" data-end="2628">NICMAR University&rsquo;s emphasis on infrastructure development, project management, and sustainable construction makes it an ideal academic environment for me. I am keen to contribute to interdisciplinary learning by integrating sustainability concepts with construction planning and execution perspectives. I also aspire to engage in collaborative research, consultancy assignments, and funded projects addressing challenges such as C&amp;D waste management and sustainable material utilization.</p>
<p data-start="2630" data-end="2900">Being the first in my family to pursue doctoral studies has instilled in me perseverance, discipline, and a deep sense of responsibility. I am committed to mentoring students academically and professionally, helping them develop both technical competence and confidence.</p>
<p data-start="129" data-end="607">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-start="2902" data-end="3059">I look forward to contributing to NICMAR University through teaching, research, and academic service, while continuing to grow as an educator and researcher.</p>
