I am an associate professor at Vignan's Foundation for Science, Technology and Research, where I lead and conduct research on thin films, nanomaterials, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). I also teach and mentor students in these fields, and collaborate with industry partners and academic peers. With over six years of teaching experience and more than 10 years of research experience, I have a strong background and skills in mechanical characterization, spectroscopy, photolithography, embedded software, and machine learning.I have a Ph.D. in Nanotechnology from the Indian Institute of Science, where I studied the shape recovery of shape memory alloys subjected to nanoindentation. I have published multiple papers in peer-reviewed journals, obtained several certifications in programming and materials science, and applied my knowledge to design and develop a low-cost tabletop indenter setup with in-situ electrical contact resistance measurement. My research interests include robotics, machine learning, and nanotechnology, and I am passionate about creating innovative and impactful solutions for the society. I am seeking a challenging research position in the related fields, where I can leverage my expertise and contribute to the advancement of science and technology.
