Bio

I graduated with a first-class degree (Bachelor of Engineering) with distinction in Mechanical Engineering from Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV), Bhopal, India in 2010. Thereafter I did my Masters (M.Tech) in Thermal Sciences from the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut, Kerala, India in 2013 with Distinction. After completing my master’s degree, I joined an Engineering Institution, Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad (AKGEC), India in the faculty position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Within the campus of AKGEC, there is a section 8 company (a non-profit organization) i.e. AKGEC Skills Foundation (ASF) focused on Skill Development for nurturing innovation, research, and training the students on the latest technologies. In 2015, I was deputed in this organization as Scientific Officer to handle the KUKA Industrial Robotic Centre, which is being established in collaboration with KUKA in 2011. I am a certified robot programmer and used to provide training on industrial robotic platforms. In 2017 I set up a FabLab at AKGEC and did my FabAcademy there itself. In 2018 I joined Bhartiya Skill Development University which is based on the Swiss Dual System and set up a FabLab there too. Currently, I am working with TBI KIET which is jointly promoted by NSTEDB, Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India, and KIET Group of Institutions, Ghaziabad. Here too I have set up a FabLab with state of art facilities.
