My Academic Journey

Born in a small village called Dhayoti, of Uttar Pradesh, a North Indian State. I completed my elementary education from my village School, And then I moved to a Intermediate School which was in a small town called Mandi Dhanaura. My university- Chaudhary Charan Singh University Meerut from where I have completed my Graduation, After the graduation, I moved to Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, where I completed my Masters and PhD, was a wonderful experience of my life. In India everyone has dream to study in a famous Institute like IIT's, and I got the chance to study in IIT Roorkee, it was the turning point of my life. When I entered in the Institute, i excited after seeing a big Campus and good infrastructure and good computer facility. Unfortunately that time I was not very much familiar with the Computer. I was very excited to work on computer and I had decided to do work on computer as much as possible after finishing my Masters I joined PhD in a field of Computational Material Science. A Life as a Ph.D. student is never easy. But while working towards my degree I enjoyed some beautiful moments specially when I got married in 2006 and shifted to family hostel from a bachelor hostel. Roorkee gave me lots of good memories to treasure, many good friends for life, and opened the doors for me to work as a good researcher. I got a chance to visit IFW Dresden, Germany in Feb 2007. This was my first foreign trip. I had already joined a German language course in IITR. This helped me a lot during my Germany trip. And I found myself in Germany a country of extremes from snow-iced mountains to hot lazy Mediterranean beaches, from un-spoilt hill villages to cities that have bustled for thousands of years. Beautiful scenery, warm people, amazing sites, long history, rich culture, incredible food and wine are all part of what made my stay there a magical experience. Mean while, I got the postdoctoral fellowship in South Korea. Finally, I moved to South Korea to join Post-Doc position in Sungkyunkwan University Suwon, a city famous for the Samsung Electronics. I find South Korea - a complete new world, which according to me is a perfect blend of US, Germany and India! I can find impatient drivers like India with the road conditions – highways and freeway of the US. It is here where I find superb busses, perfect public transport and non-English speaking people like Germany. A technologically more advanced than any other part of the world for me; I found South Koreans still preserving their age old culture - battling with the young generations to follow the west. A well cultured society where people bow to each other, eat lot of red-chilly, work harder and drink harder than any other people I found!
