Current Academic Role & Responsibilities
I have undertaken key administrative responsibilities, including serving as the Quality Management Representative, Student Life Cycle Management 2.0 Coordinator, Learning Management System Coordinator, and ISO Internal Auditor. In addition, I actively contribute through teacher guardianship and participation in departmental and institutional committees at Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Manipal. In teaching, I am involved in both undergraduate and postgraduate academic programs, contributing to curriculum development, lesson planning, student mentoring in academics and research, assessments, examinations, and academic discussions.
I am also actively engaged in community outreach activities by providing oral healthcare services in remote areas and supervising undergraduate and postgraduate students in patient care, tobacco cessation initiatives, and other community-based programs. My research contributions include mentoring undergraduate and postgraduate student research projects, publishing papers in Scopus-indexed journals, and collaborating with other institutions to undertake interdisciplinary research initiatives.
