About

My academic career spanning two decades of experience, scholarly research excellence and expertise in teaching made me recognized as one of the top 2% of scientists (Report published by Elsevier-Stanford University, USA) worldwide for two consecutive years (2023 2024 &2025). The journey has been characterized by a relentless pursuit of knowledge and commitment with a prolific publication record, comprising over 120 research articles in SCI indexed and peer-reviewed journals by reputed publishers. These publications serve as a testament to the rigor and significance of my research findings, as well as my dedication to advancing knowledge within my field. Furthermore, my impact within the academic community is evidenced by my cumulative citation count of 3575, with an H-index of 27. These metrics reflect the widespread recognition and influence of my work, as well as its enduring relevance within the scholarly discourse. In addition to my scholarly articles, I have authored 5 books, further cementing my position as a thought leader and authority in my area of expertise. These books not only showcase my ability to synthesize complex ideas but also serve as valuable resources for students, researchers, and professionals alike. Over the years, I have played a pivotal role in securing and managing research projects worth Rs 1.5 crore which includes the successful completion of government funded research projects worth Rs 50 lakhs funded by SERB, AICTE
and TNSCST, demonstrating not only my ability to secure funding but also my adeptness in overseeing and executing research endeavors to fruition.
