Personal Data: Birth date & Place: 10th July 1959, Saharanpur, U.P. India. Sex: Male; Nationality: Indian, Marital Status: Married.

Core Competence: My inter disciplinary education and training give me a leading edge to contribute effectively in multidisciplinary groups working in geotechnical engineering, soil dynamics and ground improvement techniques problems. I enjoy in acquiring and disseminating technical knowledge through teaching, research, consultancy and delivering popular lecturers. My students give me very high grading (85-96%) in response forms. My experience in construction industry in India and abroad is an added feature, which helps me immensely in tackling my student’s technical queries. I attained very rich experience in design and development of small hydro electric power stations in India and abroad and was responsible for commissioning of over 75 such stations in the country. The design of such power stations included complete hydraulic, geotechnical and basic structural designs, besides preparation of all technical drawings, B.O.Q. etc.
