I am a civil engineer with a strong academic and professional background. I began my career with four years of valuable experience at Tata Consulting Engineers. However, my passion for research led me to pursue a Ph.D., which I successfully completed in Germany with the support of a prestigious DAAD fellowship. Following my doctoral studies, I continued my academic journey in the United States, where I completed a postdoctoral fellowship. I am currently serving as a Research Assistant Professor at Brown University and am excited to embark on a new chapter as a tenure track Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University, where I look forward to contributing to the field of civil engineering and academia.
