These fields align with my research interests, where I explore innovative solutions to contemporary challenges in engineering design and production. My professional journey is defined by a commitment to both teaching and research, aiming to contribute meaningfully to the evolution of modern manufacturing processes.

I am truly grateful to Hon'ble Shri Amit Kolhe, Managing Trustee of Sanjivani Group of Institutes, for providing me with the opportunity to participate in the Fab Academy course. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to my inspiration and HOD, Dr. Rajendrakumar Kapgate, for motivating and encouraging me to join this course. Throughout my journey in Fab Academy, I aim to gain a wealth of new knowledge and technological skills.
