He had been awarded an Institute Gold Medal for topping the class with first class and distinction. He also received a gold medal from the Alumni Association of NIT Agartala in 2010. Then he joined the Metallurgical and Material Engineering department of Jadavpur University, Kolkata in the year of 2010 for pursuing his master degree. He carried out his one year of research work at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) Kalpakkam to work in the field of fatigue and fracture under the guidance of Dr. R Sandhya (Senior Scientist, Fatigue Studies Section) and Prof. S K Ray (Ministry of Steel Chair Professor, Jadavpur University). He presented his work at the 6th international conference on Creep, Fatigue and Creep-Fatigue Interaction (CF-6) held in Chennai and won the best poster paper presentation award. He successfully completed his master degree in 2012 and received University Gold Medal for being the year topper in the Metallurgical and Material Engineering department of Jadavpur University. After that, he got chances at IIT Madras and IIT Kharagpur to pursue his PhD, but opted for the University Grenoble Alpes in France to work with Prof. Marc Fivel (Laboratory SIMaP) and Prof. Jean-Pierre Franc (Laboratory LEGI). His PhD work was about experimental and FEM investigations of Cavitation Erosion of metallic alloys, which was part of a NICOP (Naval International Cooperative Opportunities in Science and Technology Program) project funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), USA and Office of Naval Research Global (ONRG). He successfully defended his PhD thesis in December 2015, with a specialization in Materials, Mechanical and Civil Engineering, Electrochemistry (2MGE) defined by the University Grenoble Alpes, France. After that, he came back to India and received the DST Inspire Faculty Award of July 2016 Session. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering department of Indian Institute of Technology Ropar.
