I am deeply passionate about research. It is a field that allows me to explore new horizons, contribute to the body of knowledge, and make a meaningful impact on the healthcare industry. Over the years, I have dedicated significant time and effort to conducting research in the field of physiotherapy.

I take great pride in having my research work recognized and accepted in prestigious journals. One of my research papers have been accepted in Scopus indexed journals, showcasing the quality and relevance of my work. Furthermore, I have achieved the remarkable feat of having one paper included in the UGC CARE list 1 journal, and four in Web of science journal which signifies its high academic merit.

My research contributions extend beyond journal publications. I have also written six book chapters for edited books that have been accepted for publication and are currently in press. These chapters serve as a testament to my expertise in specific areas of physiotherapy and further establish my credibility as a researcher.
.

I chose teaching and mentoring as a profession because I am passionate about sharing knowledge, guiding students, and contributing to their professional development.

Research Methodology, Ethics in Physiotherapy, Neurology and Neurosurgery

I aspire to be a Professor in Physiotherapy at the University of my choice.

If I was not an Assistant Professor, I would have been a consultant physiotherapist at a Government Hospital.

A good day at college is one where a positive and conducive learning environment is fostered, and meaningful interactions take place between students and faculty. It is a day where students feel engaged, inspired, and supported in their educational journey.


When these elements come together, it creates an environment where learning thrives, students flourish, and the college community as a whole benefit.

I find inspiration and admiration in various individuals who have influenced my personal and professional journey.

Witnessing their dedication and commitment to their students has instilled in me a strong desire to make a positive impact in the lives of my own students.

I had been a part of the choir in the school and college.

These include Artificial intelligence, Machine learning and Robotics in the field of Physiotherapy.

In my current role as an Assistant Professor in Physiotherapy at KR Mangalam University, I have the privilege of guiding and teaching BPT students while also providing treatment to patients in the Out patient department of Physiotherapy. With a background in home physiotherapy and clinicals, I have gained valuable experience in treating patients with musculoskeletal and neurological disorders.

As an educator, I am dedicated to impart knowledge and skills to my students, ensuring they receive comprehensive training in physiotherapy. I take pride in mentoring them and guiding their professional growth. Additionally, I am involved in administrative work for NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) at the university, contributing to the overall quality and standards of the institution.

My current profile combines teaching and mentorship responsibilities with hands-on patient care, allowing me to contribute to the development of future physiotherapy professionals while making a positive impact on the well-being of individuals in need.
