Expert in natural fiber reinforced polymer composites with Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, at Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, India. My doctoral research was in bio-composite material, including preparing specimens and testing them according to the ASTM standards. This has given me a rich experience and proficiency in the manufacturing and characterization of bio-composites. The application of these bio-composite materials in automotive interiors has the advantage of saving fuel or increasing the range of EVs.
Currently, I am working as Assistant Professor at Cummins College of Engineering for Women, Pune, India, and looking forward to collaborating and working on innovative projects in polymer composites. Keen is interested in developing sustainable composite materials based on natural resources such as natural fibers, biochar, agricultural waste, and biopolymer.
