Aim and Objective in life:-
Education is a powerful tool for social, economic and cultural development of a country. It is
the means through which skilled and qualified manpower is produced. Education in various
disciplines impart knowledge, develop certain skills necessary for survival. It is always
responsive to the changing situations of society. I myself remain committed towards the
improvement of existing educational patterns existing in colleges and universities. I myself
believe that the primary objective of higher education as a vital instrument of change should be
to facilitate the process of national development through its manifold task of generation,
dissemination, utilization and expansion of knowledge. The goals of higher education are as
follows:-
∑ To cultivate and inculcate values of humanism so as to promote tolerance among the
diverse groups (social, cultural, ethnic and religious), the ultimate aim of which to foster
and strengthen the spirit of national integration, social responsibility and faith in the
future of the country.
∑ To nurture and encourage scientific temperament among people and acquaint them with
recent advances in science and technology so as to enable them to enhance quality of life
and cope with technological changes.
∑ To inspire and instill innovative and creative thinking among the students so that they
can contribute to national development.
Current occupation at ARNI University:-
I am currently serving as Professor & Dean of Technology at Arni University. Responsibilities

2. include both academic and administrative. I am teaching the following subjects:-
∑ Non-conventional manufacturing processes.
∑ Machine tool design.
∑ Machine tool technology.
∑ Production technology.
∑ Mechanical vibrations.
∑ CAD/CAM.
∑ Probability, statistics and random processes.
I am interested to teach and do research in subjects related to advanced manufacturing
processes. The recent buzz in manufacturing technology is flexible manufacturing systems.
There are conflicting requirements in manufacturing situations, the complete solution are
neither provided by manually operated machine tools nor by totally automated machines
designed for mass production of one component. Manual m/c tools are very flexible but
productivity is poor. A lot of time is wasted in setting up of tools, fixtures, components; loading
and unloading of tools and workpieces. Flexible manufacturing provides the following benefits:-
∑ Competitiveness/quality
∑ Trend towards smaller orders
∑ Reduction in stocks
∑ Greater variety of products & product versions.
∑ Better utilization of resources.
∑ Shorter throughput times from receipt of the order to delivery.
∑ Shorter reaction times to market shifts.
I am capable of doing all sorts of administrative work.

PhD overview:-
My topic of research was the application of genetic and other evolutionary algorithms to
hot strip rolling. The quality of hot strips is governed primarily by mechanical properties,
geometric tolerances and surface properties. This study was undertaken using two objective
functions, the first one resulted in a minimization of roll change cost and the second one
ensured that the flatness and crown, two widely used quantifiers for the surface geometry
of the rolled strips, are well within acceptable limits. In another study two other objectives
were considered:- i) Minimization of flatness and ii) Minimization of power. Both the
objectives were tried to be simultaneously satisfied using multi-objective optimization
models.
Also we developed a new algorithm which was used to solve a multi-objective problem of
Tata Steel where we had to find out an optimum schedule for the hot rolling process where
the thickness, width and hardness jumps between consecutive slabs of the schedule are
minimized. The performance of the new algorithm was tested against the application of
standard algorithms to the same problem.
Algorithms Used:-
SPEA:- Strength Pareto Evolutionary algorithm.

Experience in M.TECH:-
I did my M.TECH from IIT Kharagpur under the guidance of Prof. K. K. Ray. My study
involved analysis of 17-4 PH (precipitation hardening martensitic stainless steel),its
microstructure, hardness, fracture behaviour and X-ray studies. The influence of
tempering time and temperature on the mechanical behaviour of this steel was noted. The
differences in hardness and yield strength could be attributed to the presence of different
phases in the steel.
Software Experience:-
I worked for one year in Powersoft Consulting Pvt.Ltd. Ahmedabad in AS/400 platform. I
am conversant with C, C++, VC++, Matlab.
