I am working on an extruder 3D printer to make porous composite scaffolds with controlled architecture for the Femoral Condyle regeneration.
My organisation
While Punjab was passing through insurgency since late 1970s, the 2nd National Policy on Education introduced in May 1986, called for special emphasis on the removal of disparities and to equalise educational opportunity. To achieve such social integration, it promoted the establishment of new educational institutions. Since model of RECS was already successful in several Indian states as an all-India institution and was functioning as a beacon of peace. The idea of establishing the 17th Regional Engineering College in Punjab at Jalandhar, with an intake of 260 students was conceived. 50% seats were reserved for the students of states other than Punjab, which provided a feeling of mini India within a campus of 153 acres. It started as a joint venture of the Central and State Government for providing academic leadership to the technical institutions in the region. The journey began in the year 1989 with the admission of 100 students in three branches, i.e Electronics and Communication Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Textile Technology, affiliated to Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar. The institute picked very well during the times of turmoil in Punjab and expanded in the very next year by offering five more branches in the fields of Computer Science and Engineering, Instrumentation and Control Engineering, Mechanical Machine Design and Automation, Structural and Construction Engineering, Chemical and Bio Engineering. Leather Technology was added in the year 1995. The institute was rechristened as National Institute of Technology and taken over as a fully funded institute of Centre Government with deemed university status on October, 17th 2002, under the aegis of Ministry of Human Resource Development. Till then, the Institute was orientated towards undergraduate education. In the year 2004, the Institute was further declared as ag Institute of National Importance by the MHRD. Taking the responsibility of disseminating high quality education and contributhig to the research and development activities of the country, Master's and PhD programs in different areas of engineering and technology science and humanities were introduced. Since then, there is no looking back and the institute is marching ahead in high spirits to make a remarkable contribution to the society. \- NITJ has been ranked 39th in the IIRF Rankings 2024 \- NITJ has been ranked in the 2025 THE (Times Higher Education) Asia University Rankings in the ranking band of 351-400. \- NITJ has been ranked in the 2025 THE (Times Higher Education) Engineering and Technology in the ranking band of 801-1000 \- NITJ Placed in ranking band of 661-680 amongst Asian Universities, 202nd position amongst Southern Asia Universities in QS Asia University Rankings 2025 \- NITJ has been ranked in the THE (Times Higher Education) World University Rankings 2025 in the ranking band of 1001-1200.
About me
I am a passionate and driven researcher with a Ph.D. in biomaterials, focusing on bone scaffold implantation, tissue engineering, and in vivo studies. My expertise spans innovative domains like composite materials, bone regeneration techniques, and advanced methodologies such as 3D printing. I am constantly seeking to expand my scientific skills toward astrobiology, cosmology, and the exploration of phenomena related to ufology, aerial phenomena, and flying objects. With a strong foundation in biomaterials, I am particularly intrigued by the potential of tissue engineering and bone regeneration in extreme environments, such as space and microgravity. My goal is to decode the mysteries of biological adaptation in "Zero Gravity," aiming to push the boundaries of current research in this area.
I am a team player, highly adaptable, and a fast learner, always open to new ideas and innovations. Deadlines are my milestones, and I thrive in collaborative environments where innovation is key. Outside the lab, I find solace in words, often penning poetry, and allowing myself to explore fantastical realms of thought, which in turn fuels my creativity in research.
I firmly believe that compromise is a choice, and I am dedicated to pushing forward with technological innovation and solving the grandest challenges humanity faces. My journey is about surviving and thriving, seeking to make a positive impact through my research and creative expression.
