Pursuing

Completed my post-graduation in Structural Engineering with a strong academic record (GPA 4.1/5) from Anna University. My coursework covered core areas such as Finite Element Methods, Structural Dynamics, Earthquake Engineering, and Design of RC & Steel Structures. Worked on my thesis at ISRO – LPSC Valiamala, titled “Constitutive Modelling of Polyimide Pipeline in Cryogenic Engines.” The project involved in-house modeling and design of polyimide pipelines (originally imported from Russia), using ANSYS software. I analyzed various mechanical and thermal properties to accelerate pipeline fabrication for cryogenic applications. This experience provided the rare opportunity to collaborate with globally renowned scientists from the aerospace and space research community. The program and thesis work deepened my technical expertise, enhanced my research capabilities, and laid the foundation for my professional journey in large-scale infrastructure and defense projects.

Graduated with a Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering, gaining a solid foundation in structural analysis, construction materials, project planning, and geotechnical engineering. For my final year project, I focused on “Application of Earned Value Management (EVM) in the Construction Industry.” The project involved analyzing cost and schedule performance of construction projects using EVM metrics such as Cost Performance Index (CPI), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), and Estimate at Completion (EAC). It demonstrated how EVM can be effectively applied to monitor project health, improve forecasting accuracy, and enhance decision-making in real-time. This experience helped me build a strong understanding of project controls, budget tracking, and performance measurement—skills that have proved valuable in my professional roles as a project engineer and manager.
