I am writing to apply for the position of Assistant Professor in the Department
 of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at IITRAM, Ahmedabad.
 I have done my graduation and post-graduation, and doctorate from the Departmen
t of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Kharagpur (

).
 
\begin_inset Note Note

\begin_layout Plain Layout
After that, I have done a research internship in the field of Deep learning
 under the mentorship of Dr.
 Pawan Goyal in the Department of Computer Science Engineering, IIT Kharagpur
 for eight months.
 
\end_layout

\end_inset

 Then, I  worked as a Temporary Assistant Professor in the Aerospace Engineering
 Department at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh (
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "Website"
target "https://pec.ac.in"
literal "false"

\end_inset

) for one semester.
 Currently, I am a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Mechanical
 and Industrial Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University, Toronto,
 Canada (
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "Website"
target "https://www.torontomu.ca/"
literal "false"

\end_inset

) since December 2021.
 I am extremely interested in obtaining a faculty position at IITRAM, Ahmedabad,
 where I can contribute to its focus on engineering education, continue
 my research in the field of computational mechanics, and lead campus and
 professional service activities.
 My academic training and years of experience have prepared me to be an
 effective researcher and instructor in the Department of Mechanical and
 Aerospace Engineering.

My research area of interest is related to the linear and nonlinear analysis
 of flat, folded, curved panels made of advanced composite materials (laminated,
 sandwich, functionally graded material, piezoelectric, variable angle tow)
 using analytical and numerical methods such as Isogeometric and finite
 element methods.
 Particularly, I deal with bending, vibration, transient, harmonic, and
 buckling analysis in both dry and hydrothermal conditions.
 During my Ph.D.
 tenure, I extensively worked on the nonlinear bending and buckling analysis
 of laminated and sandwich curved panels in hygrothermal environment under
 the supervision of Prof.
 B.
 N.
 Singh and Prof.
 D.
 K.
 Maiti.

The area of research explored during my Ph.D is:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Development and implementation of 3D Elasticity solution for multilayered
 composite plates.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Navier and Levy solutions using different equivalent models for bending,
 buckling, free vibration, and transient analysis of plates/shells.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
NURBS-based isogeometric and finite element models using CLPT, FSDT, HSDT,
 and quasi-3D theories.

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Comparison between different types of geometric nonlinearities, i.e., von
 Karman, Green-Lagrange, and others.
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Worked on finite element model using flat, degenerated, and curved shell
 elements.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Development of mathematical models using Continuum based approach.

 I am currently working on analysis of thee rotating structures under Prof.
 Donatus Oguamanam (
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "Website"
target "https://www.torontomu.ca/mechanical-industrial/people/faculty/donatus-oguamanam/"

\end_inset

) at TMU Canada.
 Moreover, I am also extending my Ph.D.
 works with functionally graded materials.
 Apart from this, I am also trying to do structural analysis through a deep
 learning approach.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
My future research interest is to develop various open-source modules to
 do different types of structural analysis in the field of applied mechanics.
 The benefit of doing open-source work is to make a free pathway for academician
s, researchers, and scientists so that the financial and human resources
 of our country can be utilized effectively.
 My GitHub repository contains my source codes related to my work (
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "GitHub"
target "https://github.com/suri2501"
literal "false"

\end_inset

).
 I have extensively coded the finite element and Isogeometric programs in
 MATLAB for all these works and compared them with Navier, 3D Elasticity,
 and ANSYS solutions to validate the approach.
 I am skilled in Mathematica, C, C++, and Python, with data structure and
 algorithms knowledge.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
I have gained a considerable amount of experience in structural analysis
 and still learning new techniques.
 
\begin_inset Note Note

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Moreover, I have strong knowledge of the Isogeometric approach.
\end_layout

\end_inset

 My objective as a teacher will be to motivate my students to develop self-learn
ing interests and critical thinking by having a strong understanding of
 fundamentals.
 I will also encourage and impart technical skills which will be helpful
 for academic and industrial projects.
 My future goal is to work in the direction of current industrial trends
 through different open source projects, research projects, industrial projects,
 and developing new products and services for the betterment of our Country.
 My kin interest in the above-mentioned areas and prior experience with
 various skills will greatly benefit me in realizing the work at hand.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Thank you for considering my application.
 My CV is enclosed, along with a list of my published works and references.
 I look forward to the possibility of joining your institute and contribute
 to make it as an eminent institution.
 Thank you for giving your time.
