Education: |
My technical skill set consist of bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS), Indore. I have been engaged in environmental projects since my bachelors: I worked on Engine management system and catalytic converters; presented paper on ‘Emission control in small vehicles’; and participated in BAJA SAE competition(2010) where our team won 'Green vehicle award at the National level'. My Bachelor's final year project was ‘Design optimization of Solar parabolic trough’ where I worked on software tools like Ansys 11.0 for optimizing parabolic trough.
Topics related to environment were always of my interest and I was always intrigued by the complexity of achieving sustainability under the present regime of globalization and urbanization. This strong interest in environment and ecology brought me to TISS (Tata institute of social sciences). My post graduation is helping me understanding the holistic nuances of contemporary environmental issues. This interdisciplinary course blend together the interesting subjects like Fundamentals of ecology, Environmental economics, Environmental law, Climate change and Biodiversity, Urbanization and Industrialization; Subjects from social sciences perspective Human ecology, Gender and Environment, Environment and Public Health,Traditional Ecological knowledge; and some key technical subjects like Field Research Methods, Geographical Information systems, Environment Impact Assesment, Biostatistics etc. hones me to give holistic perspective on environmental issues.
