I am currently employed as a Scientist-II at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in South Dakota, USA. Prior to this role, I served as a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad in India. My current research endeavors center around various dissimilar welding techniques, additive manufacturing, accumulative roll bonding, hybrid additive manufacturing, cold spray technology, friction stir welding, and friction stir deposition for repair work. The overarching aim of these research activities is to enhance the mechanical properties of materials across a broad range of temperatures by gaining a deeper understanding of their mechanical behavior
