I am an Assistant Professor in the Built Environment Lab at the Department of Civil Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)) Gandhinagar. I hold a PhD in civil engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and was a postdoc for 3 years at the University of Pittsburgh. My research interests are in the field of climate change adaptation of urban infrastructure, with a specific focus on pavements. My skills include experimental thermal and optical characterization of construction materials, computational modeling, and machine learning.
