<p style="text-align: justify;">I currently hold a <strong>Master&rsquo;s Degree in Transportation and Infrastructure Planning at the School of Planning and Architecture, Vijayawada</strong>, and a Bachelor&rsquo;s Degree in Civil Engineering which serves as great evidence of my field knowledge and expertise in Land Use Integration, Transportation Planning, Traffic Management, and Simulations, Public Transport Planning, Preparation of Mobility Plans, Road Safety, Highways, Travel Demand Modelling, Last-Mile Connectivity, Electric Mobility, and Sustainable Transport Planning&hellip;etc.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My computer skills are above average, and I am familiar with planning software like P<em>TV Visum &amp; Vissim, AIMSUN, Arc GIS Map &amp; Pro, QGIS, Auto Cad, Cube (Basic), and Microsoft Office</em> applications. This enables me to systematically handle and manage all Urban and Transportation Planning through computer software.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I worked as an <strong>Academic consultant (Asst Professor) at YSRAFAU</strong>, as well as a <strong>Department coordinator</strong>, discipline committee member, IDC member, <em>Internal BOS committee member</em>, and other university duties. I was involved in developing the <em>R21 Syllabus for B Tech Town Planning and M Plan Urban &amp; Regional Planning</em>, preparing the DPR for the proposed institution, the IDC Annual Report, the Department News Letter, and so on. I also served as a teaching assistant and participated in all university events during my employment.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The commencement of urban planning departments within NICMAR institutions presents an exciting opportunity for growth and development. As an early career academic with a strong foundation in teaching and research, I'm eager to contribute to this endeavor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My experience at Dr YSRAFAU, where I was a faculty member from October 2021 to July 2024 following the department's inception in February 2020, provided me with invaluable insights into the initial stages of department development. During my tenure at this budding university, I actively participated in the development of th<em>e curriculum for B Tech Town Planning and MURP</em> and the overall development of the department. This hands-on experience in an academic environment has equipped me with a practical understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with building a successful Planning course.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I Starrted my <strong>PhD (Part-Time) studies at SPA Vijayawada</strong> in August 2023, focused on <strong>New Mobility Services &amp;</strong> <strong>Travel Demand Modelling</strong>. My appoitement as as <strong>Assistant Professor (on- Contract) at SPAV</strong> in July 2024 followed this academic endeavour. Making the my transirtion from a state-level university to a nationally renowed instituion has givenb me an immence amount of knowledge in both administration and pedagogy. I have takken on diiferent roles and responsibilities during my time in SPAV, which have included organising <strong>Executive Development Programs under the AMRUT Center</strong> for Urban Planning and Capacity Building and Planning two national level conferences. Managng stakeholder meetings, government meetings and consulting projects are now included in my broader portfolio.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Regardiing research, i am presently working on journal pubication and have delivered f<em>our papers on road anmd transport planning at several conference in national institutes</em>. I have learned <strong>AIMSUN</strong> Software, which i use to teach "Geospatial Application in Transport Planning" along with Visum n ArcGIS Pro to " Masters students in Transport Planning in order to keep on the cutting edge of industry technology.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From establishing a department at <strong>YSRAFAU</strong> to wokrring for a prestigious national orgnaization like <strong>SPAV</strong>, my experience has given me a special combination of technical expertise and administrative determination. I am a researcher and learner, and i am sure that my diverse background will be a great&nbsp; contribution to NICMARs Transportation Planning Department.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I'm confident that the skills and experience I gained at <strong><em>Dr. YSRAFAU and SPAV</em></strong> will be applicable and beneficial to the development and growth of the Transportation Planning department at NICMAR. I'm dedicated to the parallel enhancement of my research capabilities and the overall growth of the department ensuring an approach to academic excellence.&nbsp;</p>
