About

I am currently working at Mercedes-Benz Research & Development India as a NVH Simulation Engineer. I have completed Master of Science (Research) at Indian Institute of Technology Madras under Prof. Senthil Murugan. My thesis was on 'Dynamics of Coupled Metamaterials: Acoustic Black Hole, Local Resonator & Multistable Oscillator'.
