I am currently working as a Senior Lecturer in Aeronautical Engineering within the School of Digital, Technologies and Arts. Previously, I was a Senior Lecturer in the School of Aircraft Maintenance at Nilai University in Malaysia. I have also worked as an Assistant Professor at various educational institutions in India. I obtained my research experience from a renowned organization in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
My educational and research background is in Aeronautical Engineering. Have published various research papers in reputed journals. I have passed many B1 modules in European Aviation Safety Agency. Have taught several aeronautical modules such as aerodynamics, aircraft design, aircraft structures, computational fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, aerospace technology, and engine operation, to undergraduate and postgraduate students.
I have developed a new programme called Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering Technology (Aircraft) with Honours, the first of its kind in Malaysia. Have developed many new modules such as aerodynamics (for aeronautical), aircraft propulsion and flight dynamics at Staffordshire University.
I have organized numerous remarkable events such as the International Conference on Aeronautics, Astronautics and Aviation, National Level Bottle Rocket Competition (recognized by India Book of Records), Industrial Revolution 4.0 in Aerospace, Technical Symposiums and Guest Lectures. Have delivered many guest lectures and invited talks to several educational institutions. I was honoured with the Indian Faculty Leader award in 2018 for my contribution to the aeronautical community and the Kajal Mallick Memorial award in 2021 for my research publication.
