Brief Biography
I joined IIITM as Assistant Professor in October 2006, became Associate Professor (Direct Selection) in June 2010, and currently working as a Professor since February 2019,
having multidimensional experience in both research and development activities, particularly in the area of nanomaterials based Devices for Energy and Environment and in IT product
development for various services. Earlier to IIITM, I worked as a faculty of the Computer Science & Information Technology (CSIT) department of G. G. University (a central university),
Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. At CSIT, I have established various laboratories and also worked in various academic cum administrative capacities. During my stay at G. G. University,
I have completed a mega project (Rs. 100 Lakh) of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Govt. of India, on Content creation and IT Localization Network as
Chief Investigator of the project. In 2010, MeiTy awarded a project of Rs. 155 Lakh for Entrepreneurship and Startups promotion at IIITM Gwalior. And in 2019, MeiTy again awarded
a project for Entrepreneurship and Startups promotion in IT and Electronics (TIDE-2.0) with a financial support of 1.7 Cr. So far, I have nurtured 22+ startups under the
Technology Innovation and Incubation Centre, Gwalior. Recently, a multi-institutional project, PAVITRAM, has been sanctioned by the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change
with a financial outlay of Rs. 1.92 Cr. One International project grant of Rs. 79.32 Lakh has been received under the SPARC scheme of the Ministry of Education through the
IIT Kharagpur Nodal centre. I have postdoctoral research associations in India and abroad (Sweden, Italy, Japan, USA, UK, Singapore, Hungary) in various capacities
with the research groups of renowned scientists, like Prof. Borje Johansson, Prof. Rajeev Ahuja, Prof. Ravindra Pandey, Prof. Yoshihiro Hayakawa, etc..
This experience in different domains of Materials Science has produced a number of International and National Publications, including regularly refereed papers in
journals, conferences, and seminars. I have written a few e-books in Hindi (Unicode) on different subjects of Information Technology and guided a number of software development projects.
All these efforts have resulted in various recognitions and awards, like in 2025 among the top 0.5% scientists worldwide declared by Scholar GPS, E-excellence award in e-governance
by M.P. Govt., the TGMC award as Best in-state category by IBM, and Finalist NASSCOM ICT Honors by NASSCOM Foundation, GOI, M.P. Young scientist award etc. I have good networking with
