<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I am writing to express my interest in the position of Assistant Professor in Construction Technology and Management at the National Institute of Construction Management and Research (NICMAR). With a strong academic background, practical experience in construction, and a deep passion for teaching and research, I believe I am well-suited to contribute meaningfully to NICMAR&rsquo;s legacy of excellence in construction education and industry-oriented research.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I have nearly 14 years of experience spanning teaching, research, consultancy, and industry practice. My journey in the field of construction began with a Bachelor&rsquo;s degree in Civil Engineering, followed by a 2 PG specialization in Construction Technology and Management from National Institute of Technology, Warangal and Real Estate Valuation from Annamalai University, Chidambaram and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with specialization in Construction Technology and Management from Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. &nbsp;During my academic tenure, I developed a strong foundation in construction planning, project management, sustainable construction practices, and building information modelling (BIM). My professional experience in the construction industry allowed me to translate theoretical knowledge into real-world applications. I was actively involved in Research of Energy Efficient Buildings, Alkali Activated Materials, Life Cycle Assessment and Building Information Modelling. I have published 10 SCI/WoS/Scopus Indexed Journals in various Reputed and High Impact Journals and also published 2 Book chapters in the area of Energy Efficiency of Buildings, Sustainable Building Materials and Building Information Modelling. I have given the various Guest lectures in academia, industry professionals, and government organizations in India.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">These experiences deepened my understanding of the challenges and innovations shaping the construction sector today.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">What excites me most about the role at NICMAR is the opportunity to shape future professionals by sharing knowledge, encouraging critical thinking, and bridging the gap between academia and industry. I am particularly inspired by NICMAR&rsquo;s interdisciplinary approach and its commitment to integrating emerging technologies, sustainability principles, and practical insights into the curriculum. I am confident in my ability to contribute to this mission by leveraging my domain expertise, teaching capabilities, and ongoing research interests.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In addition to teaching, I am keen on advancing research in areas such as construction automation, green building technologies, lean construction, and the integration of artificial intelligence in project management. I strongly believe that academia must take a leading role in promoting innovation in construction methodologies, enhancing productivity, and ensuring sustainable infrastructure development. NICMAR&rsquo;s emphasis on industry collaborations, sponsored projects, and thought leadership in the construction domain aligns perfectly with my career goals.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Moreover, I am a strong advocate for outcome-based education, experiential learning, and student-centric teaching methodologies. I have actively conducted technical training sessions, workshops, and mentorship programs for students and professionals alike. My approachable nature, combined with effective communication and academic rigor, allows me to create a vibrant and inclusive learning environment. I also envision contributing to NICMAR&rsquo;s institutional goals through curriculum development, research publications, professional networking, and academic leadership.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to NICMAR&rsquo;s vision and to play a part in shaping the next generation of construction professionals.</p>
