BRIEF BIO
|
With over 29 years of experience in civil and structural engineering, I am currently a Professor in the Civil Engineering Department, at Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), a leading technical university in India. I also hold the post of the Chief Placement Officer of CUSAT. I am a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers India and a member of Indian Society for Technical Education, Indian Concrete Institute and Indian Society of Earthquake Technology. I have a strong engineering background and an MTech and PhD in Civil and Structural Engineering from CUSAT, Kerala, India. Apart from teaching and research, I have undertaken many structural consultancy works across Kerala and offered solutions for many challenging situations as their technical consultant. I have acted as a member of the audit teams for agencies like AICTE and universities for evaluating the technical education institutions for their approval.
