Currently working as Project scientist at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, IISc, Bangalore. I am working on the next generation multi-functional composite manufacturing, testing, and characterization. I am involved in the additive manufacturing of various compositionally modified thermoplastic materials and investigating the multi-functional use of such composites. I am also working on the advanced manufacturing techniques of particulate based fabric composites that have applications majorly in the aerospace and automobile industry. I am involved in the synthesis of radar absorption materials and their microwave absorption characteristics. I also worked on sensor design, manufacturing, and characterization for SHM related applications.
