What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my teaching skills while engaging in innovative projects in electrical engineering and research.

I am an Electrical & Electronics Engineer with a passion for teaching and a strong commitment to fostering student learning. Currently, I serve as an Assistant Professor at BITM - Bellary, where I teach theory subjects and conduct practical labs for undergraduate students. My experience includes guiding mini projects, semester projects, and seminars, which allows me to share my knowledge and inspire the next generation of engineers.

With over a decade of experience in various electrical engineering roles, I have honed my skills in electrical maintenance, project management, and system analysis. My previous positions include Supervisor and Assistant Officer at JSW Steel, where I managed electrical maintenance and ensured the optimal performance of high voltage systems. I am also pursuing a PhD in Nano material (Graphene) Battery technology, focusing on innovative solutions for electric vehicles.
