EDUCATION

Ph.D. Mechanical Engineering, Graphic Era Deemed To Be University, Dehradun, India (2023).
M.Tech CAD/CAM & Robotics, Graphic Era Deemed To Be University, Dehradun, India (2018).
B.E Production Engineering, Government Engineering College Bhavnagar, (Gujarat Technological University) Gujarat, India (2014).

Obtained Ph.D. in the field of Soft Robotics, topic entitled “Design and Development of a Soft Pneumatic Actuator with In-Built Flexible Sensor for Soft Robotic Applications”.

Currently, I am working on the design and development of snake movement inspired soft pneumatic actuator which could be used for the development of elongating and bending type soft gripper and a soft crawling robot. Additionally, I am also working on composites and conductive polymer nanocomposites (CPNC) membranes. Moreover, I have 05 granted patents, 13 published patents, 34 published papers, and 05 accepted papers. Earlier, worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University, Dehradun, (From March 2023 to August 2023). Prior to teaching, worked as Quality Control Executive and Design and Development Engineer (From August 2014 to January 2016), Prevail Casting Pvt. Ltd. Rajkot, Gujarat, Gujarat, 360024.
