Hobbies

  • Welding technology
    My interest in welding technology has always been my only line of interest. Welding is a technology, which unlike other fabrication processes requires a sound knowledge of joining of materials and their metallurgical aspects. I take special interest in developing welding technology and training engineers and welders.
