<p style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; caret-color: #ffffff;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Nature of Work:</span></strong></p>
<p style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; caret-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #000000;">In addition to teaching domain-specific courses in transportation engineering, I handle interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary subjects such as<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><em>Basics of Project Automation</em>,<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><em>Instrumentation and Data Analytics</em>, and<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><em>Applications of AI</em>. I also serve as the departmental coordinator for Research, NIRF documentation, and Final Year Projects.</span></p>
<p style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; caret-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #000000;">My academic and research expertise includes traffic simulation using VISSIM and urban transportation planning using discrete choice modelling techniques. Under my supervision, previous student groups have undertaken projects involving VISSIM-based traffic simulation and statistical analysis to assess the existing transportation scenario in Kolhapur. The current project group is working on traffic simulation using VISSIM integrated with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). A key objective of my mentorship is to translate student academic projects into quality research publications.</span></p>
<p style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; caret-color: #ffffff;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Reason for Leaving:</span></strong></p>
<p style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; caret-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #000000;">I seek career advancement opportunities that allow me to guide M.Tech and Ph.D. scholars, which is currently not feasible in my present institution. Additionally, I aim to strengthen my research contributions in traffic simulation and urban transportation planning within a more research-intensive academic environment.</span></p>
