About
Computational Scientist and Mechanical Engineer specializing in physics-informed modelling, intelligent manufacturing, and digital twin technologies. I hold a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Madras and an M.Tech in Computational Mechanics from IIT Guwahati.
My research focuses on integrating first-principles engineering, multiphysics simulation, and AI/ML to develop reliable and interpretable digital twins for advanced manufacturing processes. I have contributed to areas including abrasive waterjet machining, machine tool thermal compensation, cyber-physical systems, and Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs).
I am proficient in MATLAB, Python, and C/C++, with experience in numerical methods, process modelling, optimization, and industrial AI applications. I enjoy working in interdisciplinary and collaborative environments where engineering fundamentals and data-driven intelligence come together to solve complex manufacturing challenges.
Currently, I work as a Senior Engineer at TCS–General Motors, developing PINN-enabled digital twin solutions for smart manufacturing and process automation in the automotive domain.
