Focused on structural engineering, underground infrastructure, computational methods and sustainable construction — building toward a career in research-driven civil engineering.
Profile
About
I am a Civil Engineering undergraduate at Delhi Technological University, working at the intersection of structural design, underground infrastructure and computational engineering. My interest lies in applying rigorous analysis and modern computational tools to the design of resilient, sustainable civil infrastructure.
Alongside my core engineering coursework, I am pursuing a Psychology Honours degree through IGNOU, which has sharpened how I approach research methodology, statistical reasoning and collaborative problem-solving — skills I bring directly into engineering research and site work.
I completed a structural engineering internship with the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), where I worked on drawing review, site supervision and quantity documentation for public infrastructure projects. That experience confirmed my interest in large-scale, publicly significant engineering work — the kind undertaken at CERN.
