<p data-start="213" data-end="731">I hold a <strong data-start="222" data-end="253">B.Tech in Civil Engineering</strong> from <strong data-start="259" data-end="294">Walchand College of Engineering</strong>, an <strong data-start="299" data-end="335">M.Tech in Structural Engineering</strong> from <strong data-start="341" data-end="349">COEP</strong>, and have submitted my <strong data-start="373" data-end="435">Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Building Water Supply Systems)</strong> under<strong> </strong>AICTE&rsquo;s National Doctoral Fellowship. With experience as <strong data-start="503" data-end="526">Assistant Professor</strong> at <strong data-start="530" data-end="565">Walchand College of Engineering</strong> and <strong data-start="570" data-end="604">Sinhgad College of Engineering</strong>, I bring a strong foundation in <strong data-start="637" data-end="673">Structural Engineering education</strong> supported by research depth and institutional engagement.</p>
<p data-start="733" data-end="1311">I have taught core structural subjects including <strong data-start="782" data-end="807">Engineering Mechanics</strong>, <strong data-start="809" data-end="834">Strength of Materials</strong>, <strong data-start="836" data-end="866">Reinforced Concrete Design</strong>, <strong data-start="868" data-end="898">Design of Steel Structures</strong>, and <strong data-start="904" data-end="927">Structural Analysis</strong>, along with Environmental Engineering and Advanced Urban Water Distribution Systems. I have independently designed and updated course content for Engineering Mechanics, Strength of Materials, and RCC in alignment with <strong data-start="1154" data-end="1181">Outcome-Based Education</strong> and contemporary engineering practice. Across all courses handled, my average student feedback has consistently exceeded <strong data-start="1303" data-end="1310">85%</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="1313" data-end="1969">My teaching integrates <strong data-start="1336" data-end="1373">conceptual rigor with application</strong>. I have designed creative <strong data-start="1400" data-end="1448">in-semester evaluation components (20 marks)</strong> at Walchand College of Engineering and structured <strong data-start="1499" data-end="1542">Teacher&rsquo;s Assessment modules (20 marks)</strong> at COEP Tech to promote analytical thinking and practical problem-solving skills. I have conducted multiple training programs, guest lectures, and seminars, and begin my course lectures with a brief <strong data-start="1730" data-end="1763">2&ndash;3 minute centering exercise</strong> to enhance focus and classroom engagement of students. I believe Engineering education must cultivate <strong data-start="1865" data-end="1937">disciplined reasoning, ethical responsibility, and mental resilience</strong> alongside technical competence.</p>
<p data-start="1971" data-end="2470">My research includes multiple <strong data-start="2001" data-end="2041">SCIE and Scopus-indexed publications</strong> in reputed international journals such as <strong data-start="2084" data-end="2107">Urban Water Journal</strong>, <strong data-start="2109" data-end="2166">Building Services Engineering Research and Technology</strong>, and <strong data-start="2172" data-end="2188">Water Supply</strong>. My doctoral work on <em>Reliability and Optimization of building infrastructure systems</em> complements structural engineering through interdisciplinary integration as it uses <strong>Fuzzy Inference system</strong> as common tool. I intend to expand my work into <strong data-start="2386" data-end="2469">collaborative research, consultancy projects, and externally funded initiatives</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="2472" data-end="2957">I have contributed significantly to <strong data-start="2508" data-end="2548">NBA and NAAC accreditation processes</strong>, including <strong data-start="2560" data-end="2604">Criteria I and Criteria VI documentation</strong> for the UG Civil Engineering program at WCE and accreditation preparation at COEP and Sinhgad College of Engineering. I also initiated the <strong data-start="2744" data-end="2800">Students&rsquo; Chapter of the Indian Plumbing Association</strong> at WCE to strengthen <strong data-start="2822" data-end="2855">industry-academia interaction</strong> and regularly organize seminars, workshops, and conferences to support students&rsquo; professional growth.</p>
<p data-start="2959" data-end="3276">Through consultancy, I have been involved in <strong data-start="3004" data-end="3026">third-party audits</strong> and <strong data-start="3031" data-end="3065">structural vetting assignments</strong> and continue to engage with professionals in <strong data-start="3111" data-end="3141">structural and MEP domains</strong>. I actively encourage students to pursue <strong data-start="3183" data-end="3245">innovation, patent awareness, and entrepreneurial thinking</strong> within their academic journey.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p data-start="3278" data-end="3563">At <strong data-start="3281" data-end="3302">NICMAR University</strong>, I seek to contribute through <strong data-start="3333" data-end="3380">rigorous structural engineering instruction</strong>, <strong data-start="3382" data-end="3408">research collaboration</strong>, <strong data-start="3410" data-end="3433">industry engagement</strong>, and <strong data-start="3439" data-end="3462">academic leadership</strong>&mdash;working toward developing <strong data-start="3489" data-end="3562">analytically strong, ethically grounded, and industry-ready engineers</strong>.&nbsp; <span style="text-align: justify;">I hope to contribute to this <strong>prestigious </strong>and <strong>rising </strong>institute in engineering and management sector of education through my dedication and humble service. Being a part of it would <em>not be less than a dream</em>. Looking forward for the path towards contributing best to the society through NICMAR university.</span></p>
