About me

He has substantial experience in teaching, academic mentoring, research supervision, and curriculum-oriented engineering education, particularly in Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering. He is serving as Associate Professor in the Department of Mechatronics Engineering with more than 17 years of experience in academic and research. His academic career has involved teaching core engineering subjects while integrating research-based learning, laboratory experimentation, design projects, and advanced materials/tribology concepts into engineering education. His teaching and mentoring responsibilities have also extended to guiding undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral research scholars in areas such as materials processing, materials science, composites and related engineering disciplines; institutional records identify him as a research supervisor for scholars pursuing Ph.D. work under Anna University. His academic profile therefore combines classroom teaching, laboratory-based instruction, project guidance, research supervision, and technology-oriented learning, enabling students to connect fundamental mechanical-engineering principles with practical problems in materials, manufacturing, tribology, surface engineering and advanced engineering applications.
