<p>Prof. Venkatesh Kodur, Centre on Structural Fire Engineering and Diagnostics at Michigan State University. We will target co-authoring high-impact research papers for top-tier journals (such as the <em data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="133">Journal of Structural Fire Engineering</em> or <em data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="175">Fire Safety Journal</em>). Furthermore, I plan to work with him to draft joint grant proposals for bilateral international funding agencies (such as DST-NSF collaborative grants) to secure funding for advanced fire testing equipment and international scholar exchange programs.</p>
