Teaching & Mentoring Experience
I have over 1.5 years of formal teaching experience in higher education and 4+ years of academic mentoring experience. I served as a Contractual Lecturer at the Government College of Engineering and Technology (GCET), Safapora, from October 2021 to March 2022, where I taught Power Systems and Control-related courses to undergraduate students, delivering approximately 10–12 lecture hours per week along with tutorial and doubt-clearing sessions. In addition, during my PhD at IIT Roorkee, I have actively mentored 5+ undergraduate and postgraduate students on hardware-oriented and simulation-based projects, dedicating around 5–8 hours per week to supervision, technical guidance, and review. My mentoring has focused on MATLAB/Simulink modeling, real-time simulation, controller implementation, and cybersecurity aspects of power systems, helping students successfully complete academic projects and strengthen their research and practical skills.
