With 23 years of academic experience, I am currently serving as a faculty member at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Manipal Institute of Technology, a constituent institution of Manipal Academy of Higher Education. My academic role involves teaching undergraduate engineering courses, mentoring students, and guiding academic projects. I am actively involved in research on biofluid mechanics, computational hemodynamics, and the numerical simulation of blood flow in stenosed carotid arteries using advanced CFD tools, including ANSYS.

My responsibilities include mentor mentee and Teacher guardian roles, conducting laboratory and tutorial sessions, and contributing to outcome-based education and accreditation activities. In addition, I continuously engage in professional development through NPTEL certifications, research dissemination, and academic collaborations aimed at enhancing teaching quality and research excellence.
