<p>I am writing to express my interest in the position of Assistant Professor in Information Technology at NICMAR University. With over seven years of teaching experience, an SCI-indexed publication, and my Ph.D. soon to be submitted at Delhi Technological University, I am keen to contribute to academic excellence through research-driven teaching and innovation.</p>
<p>My doctoral research is centered on Automated Software Testing, with a specific focus on intelligent test suite generation using metaheuristic optimization techniques.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alongside my doctoral work, I have accumulated more than seven years of teaching experience, including four years at Delhi Technological University (alongside my PhD), Vishwakarma university, Pune; and my current role at Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune. Teaching at these institutions has allowed me to work with diverse student groups and deliver core Information Technology subjects such as Data Structures, Algorithms, Software Engineering, Computer Networks, and other core and applied domains. I have actively mentored students' projects, supervised research-oriented work, and contributed to academic and departmental responsibilities.</p>
<p>I strongly believe that effective IT education must bridge theoretical foundations with practical implementation. My teaching approach integrates conceptual clarity, hands-on laboratory sessions, research exposure, and project-based learning. I encourage students to explore contemporary domains such as automated testing frameworks, intelligent optimization algorithms, and cloud-based testing environments to prepare them for both research and industry challenges.</p>
<p>NICMAR University&rsquo;s emphasis on technology-oriented and industry-aligned education resonates strongly with my academic philosophy. I am enthusiastic about contributing to curriculum development, fostering research culture, mentoring students, and engaging in collaborative academic initiatives. My long-term objective is to establish a focused research trajectory in Computer Science while nurturing students to become innovative and ethically grounded professionals.</p>
<p>With a balanced profile of research depth and substantial teaching experience, I am confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to NICMAR University&rsquo;s academic community and its continued pursuit of excellence.</p>
