About

I have been working as a Post-doctoral researcher on the SmInt project at Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences. This interdisciplinary initiative has allowed me to work at the intersection of academia, research, and industry, driving sustainable innovations and fostering impactful partnerships.

I am a goal-oriented researcher with a dedicated focus on the experimental mechanics of fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) and the development of lightweight engineering structures utilizing cutting-edge 3D weaving technology. I am particularly dedicated to exploring the synergy between textile fibers and advanced engineering principles, crafting multifunctional fiber-reinforced composites for next-generation lightweight structural solutions. My primary research encompasses the fabrication of advanced woven preforms and their composites, mechanical characterization, and data curation and analysis while maintaining a holistic focus on sustainability. My professional background spans tertiary education, organizational R&D, transboundary research, and international business development, which enables me to bridge academic research with industrial innovation. I am committed to advancing interdisciplinary solutions for global challenges in mobility, infrastructure, and sustainable development.

With a dynamic career spanning Germany, India, China, and Bangladesh, I have honed my skills as an ambidextrous engineering professional with a robust academic foundation. Through collaborative research ventures within EU countries and India, I have enriched my perspective, amplifying my capacity to contribute effectively in diverse international settings. Beyond academia, my strong connections with textile industry stakeholders, including manufacturers, traders, and buyers, underscore my versatility. Serving as a key negotiator in crafting impactful collaborations, MoUs, and academic exchange policies, I bridge academia and industry, making significant strides in the intersection of research, innovation, and international relations.

My journey includes pivotal roles in multinational corporations, focusing on business development, marketing, strategic market development, and international business. Coupled with my experience in multicultural tertiary education, this background equips me with a nuanced understanding of the global academic landscape. In essence, I am a multifaceted professional adept at driving research, fostering innovation, and nurturing international collaborations, poised to make meaningful contributions in both government and private sectors.
