ACADEMIC & INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Beyond teaching and research
Academic work also includes student support, institutional coordination and service responsibilities.
Teaching & Laboratory Coordination
Teaching theory and laboratory components of Applied Physics for engineering programmes, including Mechanical Engineering and Electrical & Electronics Engineering.
Student Mentoring & Academic Support
Supporting first-year engineering students through classroom teaching, laboratory instruction, experiential learning and structured academic resources.
Hostel Administration
Institutional service related to student welfare and administration as Warden of the NIE Men's Hostel, South Campus.
Examination & Valuation
Responsibilities associated with examination valuation, moderation and related academic coordination.
Institutional Committees
Participation in institutional academic and administrative activities, including responsibilities connected with examinations and student programmes.
Student Development
Interest in experiential learning, digital academic resources and activities that encourage students to question, explore and learn independently.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Understand → Visualize → Apply
Physics education should go beyond memorizing equations. Students are encouraged to understand the physical concept, visualize the phenomenon through diagrams, demonstrations or simulations, and connect it to engineering applications.
Particular emphasis is placed on conceptual clarity, mathematical understanding, physical interpretation, experimental verification, problem-solving, data analysis and independent learning.

BEYOND PHYSICS
Music, Creativity & Life Beyond the Classroom
Academic life is enriched by interests that encourage creativity, observation and a different way of seeing the world.
A space for music and creativity
Beyond teaching and research, music is an important personal interest. Time spent listening to and engaging with music offers a creative balance to academic work.
This photograph captures that personal side—exploring music at the keyboard in a dedicated creative space.
