I am an Aeronautical Engineer by profession. My area of specialization is Spacecraft propulsion, Rocket engineering, Solid Core Nuclear Fission reactor, Electric propulsion using MPDs, Interstellar propulsion and Orbital mechanics. I like amatuer astronomy with interests in Heliophysics and Deep Sky Observation. I am currently the Principal Project Scientist for the development of India’s first Microwave Induced Electromagnetic Thruster with support from JSW Steels and ISRO. In addition, I have undertaken more than 10 private projects. With the guidance from Dr. Ugur Guven, I have published a technical book on using Nuclear Propulsion for Aircrafts
