During my Ph.D. period I have done many collaborative research works inside the department as well as with the other departments of IIT (BHU) and Banaras Hindu University such as School of Materials Science and Technology, Department of Metallurgical Engineering, Institute of Medical Sciences etc. I believe in collaborative research work in inter-disciplinary field so that I can pursue better research in futuristic area of advanced materials preparations, High temperature Refractory preparation and Dental Ceramic Materials as well as other area of Material Science

& Engineering which can be useful & helpful for the cause of society. The opportunity to join existing labs with established research programs or the opportunity to build your own infrastructure and associated research program in the Research and development Labs. In addition to this, it is possible to raise grant money for research through various government and industry sources. Government agencies invite proposals all year around, and are generally keen to grant funding in various thrust areas. I would love to do work with your prestigious organizations.
