About Me

I am a researcher in the field of , who employs experimental and numerical modeling tools to solve Geotechnical-engineering problems. My research also involves developement of tools.

Postdoctral Researcher, Kyoto University, Japan

Apr, 2021 — til date

At present, I am working as a postdoctoral researcher at Graduate School Agriculture, Kyoto University. I have developed a space-time finite element for soil dynamics and earthquake engineering problem, wherein the numerical dissipation of high-frequency components can be controlled by the user. I have also developed a space-time finite element method with moving mesh technique to study the transient unconfined seepage flow in dams, levees, and other earthen structures. I am also leading a research team to develop the generalized framework of space-time FEM for dynamic soil-structure interaction problems. This research involves high-performance-computing by using OpenMP, MPI and GPU. I am also investigating the failure of levee and embankments due to overflow by using physical and numerical modeling. For this research, I am developing a software for solving the coupled Navier-Stokes and Darcy-Brinkmann Equations.

Postdoctral Fellow, IIT Bombay, India

Feb, 2019 — Jan, 2021

I worked as Institute Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Bombay, India. During this time, my research was focused on thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of frozen and unfrozen soils. I investigated on the influence of volumetric ice-content on the shear stregth characteristics of frozen soils. I have also developed an experimental procedure to establish freezing characteristics of partially saturated soils. In addition, I developed a numerical method and computer program to estimate the thermal properties of frozen and unfrozen soils by interpretating Dual-probe heat-pulse data.

Postdoctral Researcher, Kyoto University, Japan

Oct, 2018 — Jan, 2019

I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University, Japan, wherein I investigated the seismic performance of a rockfill dam. For this research I developed a computer program for Finite Element Method in Fortran.

Ph.D., MEXT fellow, Kyoto University, Japan

Oct, 2015 — Sept, 2018

I attended Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University, as a doctoral student. My research was supported by Ministry of Education Culture, Sports, Science and Technology MEXT. The title of my doctoral thesis is "Development of Space-Time Finite Element Method for Seismic Analysis of Hydraulic Structure".

Junior research fellow

Jun, 2013 — Sept, 2015

I worked as a research fellow in the department of Civil Engineering, IIT Bombay, India. During this time, I worked in the area of heat and mass transfer in porous medium. I also carried out geotechnical testings for consultancy projects of Environmental Geotechnics laboratory.

B.Tech., IIT Bombay, India

Jun, 2009 — May, 2013

I studied civil engineering at undergraduate level at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT Bombay).
