<p class="MsoNormal">I wish to join NICMAR as an Assistant Professor because the institution stands at the intersection of construction management, sustainability, and industry integration areas that align closely with my academic training and research expertise. NICMAR&rsquo;s strong focus on infrastructure, project management, and applied learning makes it an ideal platform to contribute meaningfully in the domain of Sustainable Construction Management.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sustainable Construction Management requires an understanding of environmental performance across the entire project lifecycle from planning and design to execution, operation, and decommissioning. My PhD research in Architecture and Planning focused on carbon&ndash;thermal resilience modelling, emission reduction strategies, and climate-responsive planning. I developed spatial decision-support models integrating carbon emission inventories, land surface temperature analysis, scenario-based mitigation strategies, and resilience assessment. These frameworks can directly support teaching in subjects such as Sustainable Construction Practices, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Climate-Responsive Infrastructure Planning, and Net-Zero Development Strategies.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the area of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Sustainable Materials Management key components of sustainable construction. I am a CII Certified Professional in LCA. I am trained in embodied carbon assessment, lifecycle thinking, and environmental product evaluation. I can contribute to courses that address embodied energy analysis, material selection strategies, circular construction principles, waste minimization, and resource efficiency in construction projects. I also aim to integrate ESG and GRI-based sustainability reporting frameworks into construction management teaching, helping students understand regulatory compliance, environmental disclosures, and sustainability benchmarking in infrastructure projects.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NICMAR&rsquo;s curriculum also emphasizes Construction Project Management and Risk Management. My expertise in GIS and Remote Sensing (ArcGIS, QGIS) enables spatial risk assessment, site suitability analysis, environmental constraint mapping, and climate vulnerability evaluation. These tools can be used in teaching Sustainable Site Planning, Environmental Risk Assessment, and Infrastructure Planning under changing climate conditions. Additionally, my experience with ENVI-Met simulation supports microclimate analysis and performance-based design approaches relevant to sustainable urban and campus-scale projects.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Building Construction and Sustainable Technologies, I can contribute knowledge on green building systems, passive design strategies, energy-efficient construction methods, and integration of nature-based solutions with engineered systems. My research has examined hybrid mitigation approaches combining technological and ecological strategies, which aligns with emerging themes in resilient and regenerative construction.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Research and consultancy are equally important in Sustainable Construction Management. I have published in SCI-indexed journals and have experience in quantitative modelling, fuzzy composite indexing, and data-driven sustainability assessment. At NICMAR, I intend to pursue applied research in low-carbon construction technologies, sustainable supply chains, embodied carbon accounting, and performance monitoring of infrastructure projects. I also look forward to collaborating with industry partners for consultancy projects related to ESG compliance, carbon audits, and sustainable project certification.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe sustainable construction education must prepare students for real-world challenges such as decarbonization targets, green procurement, regulatory compliance, and climate resilience. My teaching approach combines technical tools, case-based learning, and applied research integration. I aim to equip students with analytical skills, lifecycle thinking, and decision-making abilities required in modern construction management.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Joining NICMAR would allow me to align my expertise in sustainability analytics, environmental modelling, and research-driven teaching with its specialized Sustainable Construction Management program. I am committed to contributing to academic excellence, industry collaboration, and the development of future professionals capable of delivering environmentally responsible and economically viable infrastructure solutions.</p>
