About Me
I am a geotechnical engineer and researcher with a passion for solving complex problems in soil mechanics and offshore foundation engineering. My academic journey has taken me across some of the world's leading institutions, including postdoctoral research positions at TU Delft (Netherlands), Aalto University (Finland), and City University of Hong Kong.
​
My research focuses on advanced numerical methods, large deformation analysis, constitutive modelling, centrifuge modeling, and soil–structure interaction under extreme loading conditions. With a strong foundation in computational geomechanics and a deep curiosity for the mechanics of geomaterials, I aim to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical engineering solutions in the offshore, earthquake, and environmental geotechnical domains.
News and Updates
I feel blessed to announce that I received Prof Leonards Annual Prize for the best PhD Thesis in Geotechnical Engineering for the year 2020 by Indian Geotechnical Society (IGS) organized by NIT Trichy on 16th Dec ,2021. It feels really great when your hard work of many years is acknowledged and I am immensely happy about the fact that year 2021 ended on a happy note for me. Looking forward to some interesting projects to work on this year too! Link
