Profile Summary

Educational Background: I have completed my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Andhra University College of Engineering, Visakhapatnam, with a specialized focus on sustainable construction materials. My doctoral thesis, titled “A Holistic Analysis of Banana Fiber Reinforced Concrete of M25 and M35 Grades of Concrete,” centers on the experimental evaluation of natural fiber-reinforced concrete for improved mechanical performance and environmental viability. Research Experience and Projects: 1. Doctoral Research (2019–2024): o Focused on the incorporation of banana fiber in conventional concrete grades to enhance ductility, tensile strength, and crack resistance. o Extensive experimental work involving mix design, workability studies, mechanical property tests, and durability analysis. o Explored the use of M25 and M35 grades, assessing behavior under both short-term and sustained loading conditions. o Outcomes contributed to the development of eco-conscious concrete, aligning with the global push for sustainable infrastructure. 2. Patent Work (Filed): o A Banana Fibrous-Based Eco-Friendly Concrete Composition with Mechanical Properties – Government of India. o Advancing Construction Materials: Banana Fibered Concrete with Nano-Silica and PSC for Enhancing Durability – Government of India. o Both patents focus on practical, scalable solutions for green construction using agricultural waste and industrial by-products. 3. Ongoing Research Interests: o Advancing sustainable materials in civil engineering through natural fiber composites, nano-supplemented concretes, and low-carbon construction systems. o Investigating the synergy between bio-based materials and high-performance cementitious systems. o Exploring the integration of machine learning tools for material behavior prediction and mix optimization. Skills and Technical Proficiency: • Experimental Design & Material Characterization (Concrete Mix Design, Fiber Reinforcement, Durability Tests) • Structural Testing and Analysis (Compression, Flexural, Split Tensile Tests) • Laboratory Management and Safety Protocols • Academic Writing, Report Preparation, and Patent Drafting • Teaching and Curriculum Development for UG and PG students • Software: AutoCAD, MATLAB (basic), MS Excel (data processing), Staad Pro Teaching Experience: • Actively engaged in assisting UG/PG courses during my doctoral program, including topics on Concrete Technology, Construction Materials, and Structural Design. • Involved in lab sessions and mentoring undergraduate project groups on sustainable material development. Professional Qualities: • Strong commitment to environmentally responsible engineering. • Deep interest in interdisciplinary collaboration, especially in materials science and structural systems. • Effective communication and mentoring skills, with a focus on clarity and academic rigor.
