What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a research-focused role where I can advance computational mechanics and building simulation, publish impactful work, and collaborate with engineers—while continuing to mentor and grow my expertise in numerical methods and thermal performance.

I’m a Ph.D. scholar focused on “Modelling Of Strong And Weak Discontinuties” using computational mechanics and Extended Isogeometric Analysis, with a strong research ethos built through “mentoring students” during my course work. My work centers on turning complex mechanical phenomena into reliable numerical frameworks.

In my M.Tech, I “Building Simulation to Evaluate Cooling and Heating Load for different Climatic Zones in India,” applying tools such as EnergyPlus, eQuest, and MATLAB to support practical design decisions. Most recently, I worked as a “Research Associate-1” at Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (April–September 2024), contributing to “Crack Propagation” using theoretical development and numerical study approaches, alongside SCI/SCOPUS publications and a book chapter.
