Short Bio

He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD), India. During his PhD, he worked on the application of power electronics in electrical machine drives for their sustained and efficient operation. His area of expertise is in the DSP-based control of AC motor drives using a traditional two-level or a multi-level power electronic voltage source converter during fault conditions.

In July 2023, he joined the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB), as a Senior Project Research Scientist to work on managing and coordinating the purchase of lab equipment for the proposed 'C1973 Powertrain Lab' for Electric Vehicle research. He also led and mentored research projects with graduates and PhDs working on control and machine design of BLDC motor and Synchronous Reluctance Motor - ferrite assisted for a 2-wheeler and a 3-wheeler EV application, respectively. Later, he joined Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi, UAE, as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the 'Electric Transportation Lab' (under APEC - Advanced Power & Energy Center), focusing on open-ended winding induction motor configuration in EV applications.

Before his master's degree, he had worked as a Programmer Analyst Trainee at Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS), Chennai, and as an Electrical Design Engineer at an MEP consulting firm in Kochi. Since July 2025, he has been working at BITS Pilani, K K Birla Goa campus as an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department.
