As a structural engineering professional, I believe that technical design knowledge must be complemented with a practical understanding of project execution, construction techniques, cost considerations, and risk management. NICMAR&rsquo;s strong industry orientation provides an ideal platform to bridge this gap.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">My academic and research background in structural engineering has equipped me with strong foundations in structural analysis, design of reinforced concrete and steel structures, advanced composite materials, and performance evaluation of infrastructure systems. At NICMAR, I see the opportunity to teach structural concepts in a way that connects theory with real construction practices and project management realities. As a faculty member, I aim to create a learning environment where students not only understand structural behavior but also appreciate how design decisions affect project timelines, costs, safety, and long-term performance. NICMAR&rsquo;s practice-oriented approach will allow me to use case studies, live industry examples, and interdisciplinary discussions to make structural engineering more application-focused and relevant to modern infrastructure development.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">I am also motivated by NICMAR&rsquo;s emphasis on research, consultancy, and collaboration with industry. Structural engineering today is evolving rapidly with the use of advanced construction materials, digital tools such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), and innovative construction methodologies. I would be keen to contribute to research initiatives that address real-world problems in structural safety, durability, and sustainable infrastructure. Engaging with industry partners through consultancy and applied research would further strengthen the academic-industry connection. Furthermore, I look forward to contributing to curriculum development, mentoring students, and guiding research projects that integrate structural engineering with construction management principles. </span></p>

Its strong industry linkage, applied focus, and commitment to excellence make it an ideal platform for shaping future professionals who are technically sound and practically aware. I am enthusiastic about contributing to NICMAR&rsquo;s mission of developing competent leaders for the construction and infrastructure sector.</span></p>
