Objective — Structural engineering enthusiast focused on combining engineering principles, automation, and technology to create efficient design solutions, smart tools, and real-world project impact.
Structural engineer and researcher with over six years of experience spanning seismic column behaviour, offshore platforms, railway bridges, and advanced composite reinforcement systems — working across India and Canada.
Currently a Post-Doctoral Researcher through the Mitacs Accélération program at the Université de Sherbrooke, partnering with Sym-Tech Béton Préfabriqué Inc. to bridge research outcomes with precast concrete industry practice.
I previously completed a Ph.D. in Structural Engineering at Sherbrooke under the Tier-1 Canada Research Chair in Advanced Composite Materials for Civil Structures, supported by the NSERC program. My doctoral research evaluated the seismic performance of fiber-reinforced concrete columns with hybrid longitudinal reinforcement — pairing conventional steel with Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars to push ductility and corrosion resistance beyond what either material achieves alone.
Before Sherbrooke, I spent a year at Worley India designing offshore structural components — flare booms, monorails, and WPP topsides — in SACS, and another at IIT Hyderabad proof-checking railway bridges and pre-engineered buildings across the country.
Experienced in applying ACI, AISC, CSA, and IS design provisions to real-world projects, with a strong drive for streamlining engineering workflows through custom tools and automated calculations.
A snapshot of the engineering, computational, and communication skills built across six years of research and structural design practice in India and Canada.
Experienced in finite element modeling and advanced structural analysis using ANSYS and Abaqus. Proficient with industry platforms including STAAD.Pro, ETABS, SAFE, and SACS. Strong understanding of reinforced concrete and steel behavior, structural optimization, and performance-based engineering.
Developed custom spreadsheets, computational workflows, and design automation tools using MATLAB and Excel to streamline calculations and reduce manual effort. Passionate about integrating engineering knowledge with automation and data-driven problem solving.
Contributed to analysis, proof-checking, and design of railway bridges, foot overbridges, pre-engineered buildings, and residential structures. Worked across feasibility, conceptual planning, detailed design, and technical coordination within multidisciplinary teams.
Experience in reinforced concrete design, structural behavior assessment, and experimental testing of advanced concrete materials. Interested in innovative construction materials and sustainable engineering solutions.
Strong working knowledge of ACI, AISC, CSA, and IS Codes — fluent across American, Canadian, and Indian structural design provisions.
Strong technical communication skills developed through research, conferences, and international collaboration. Fluent in English; native Hindi speaker.
A walk through the work — from quasi-static cyclic tests in the structures lab to offshore topside design and proof-checked railway bridges.
Design, casting and quasi-static cyclic testing of fiber-reinforced concrete columns with longitudinal hybrid reinforcement (Steel + GFRP), with full damage-pattern analysis across drift cycles for the FS12, FH08 and FH04 specimen series.
Abaqus finite-element modelling of a 10-storey concentrically braced steel building under elevated-temperature loading — beam-to-column connections, brace stability and global frame response.
Road safety audits across major Bhopal junctions and proposed retrofits — median refuges, footpaths, zebra crossings, speed humps and road studs — to reduce pedestrian risk on arterial roads.
Pad-eye, monorail and deck-plate design with in-house Mathcad / Excel; SACS in-place analysis of flare boom, monorail systems and WPP topside; fire analysis of platform topside for the Yu. Kuvykin field (Pechora Sea).
Structural modelling, proof-checking and detailing of pre-engineered buildings in STAAD.Pro / ETABS — rafters, columns, bracing systems and base details across multiple PEB projects.
Proof-checking of railway bridges (Jaipur) and pedestrian foot over-bridges (Patna), including pier reinforcement detailing, deck design verification and superstructure analysis.
Custom design tools built across MATLAB, Mathcad, and Excel — each one will open as a standalone interactive web tool. New tools are added as research and design work continues.
Selected peer-reviewed work on the seismic behaviour of hybrid Steel + GFRP reinforced concrete columns.
Open to structural / R&D roles, post-doctoral positions, and consulting on composite reinforcement.
