Thibankumar was involved in enhancing teaching and learning using AR and non-immersive VR for the Electrical Power and Machines course. In addition, he creates MOOC styled video lectures for the Mechatronics course which focuses on the fundamentals (e.g. why things work the way they do, the calculus behind the operating behaviour).He divided his research capacity into two: engineering and non-engineering. For engineering research, he has conducted preliminary numerical study and written a conference paper on the structural integrity of complex pipe structures. To further this, he has assisted the Principal Investigator in securing research grants. Furthermore, he has simultaneously authored and co-authored research review papers focusing on corroded pipeline failure behaviour. For non-engineering research, he has co-authored a conference paper that highlights the factors that affect academic probation students in UTP.
