Okay, so you focused your PhD on nickel-based superalloys and microsegregation in plasma arc welding, and even experimented with nano carbide reinforcement. When you introduce these advanced welding concepts to students, how do you structure a lab session to help them actually connect the theory to hands-on results?

Alright, so you mentioned hands-on experience with a 10 kilowatt XRD power system during your PhD research. Shifting gears a bit, when you teach or supervise students in a lab setting, what's one strategy you use to make sure they really understand both the safety aspects and the scientific principles behind using advanced equipment like XRD?

Okay, you’ve worked with XRD systems and universal testing machines for mechanical behavior studies, including stress analysis and different manufacturing techniques. Given all that lab experience, how do you help students who are struggling to connect the results they see on these advanced machines to the theory they learn in class?

Given your background in advanced welding processes and mechanical characterization, where do you see the most promising and fundable directions for your research over the next few years? Are there particular grants or industry partnerships you’d target to support that work?

Alright, so you've worked hands-on with XRD systems, universal testing machines, high-temperature tensile testing, and explored microstructural changes in advanced alloys. Professor, could you explain how your expertise in smart manufacturing or semiconductor manufacturing aligns with VIT University's focus on cutting-edge technology and innovation?

So you’ve built up hands-on experience with XRD, universal testing machines, high and low cycle fatigue, and you’re clearly deep into the microstructure side of advanced alloys. Earlier, you mentioned publishing papers on welding and micro-plasma arc processes. Can you discuss one key publication of yours and how its findings could shape the way you teach or design lab courses at VIT?

You’ve clearly spent a lot of time working with both advanced equipment and challenging materials. Suppose you’re teaching a core lab course at VIT and you want students to go beyond just following the manual — how would you design an exercise that gets them thinking like actual researchers, not just technicians?

Okay, so you’ve had hands-on work with TEM, FECM, XRD, AFM, and even corrosion studies on Inconel 625 after reinforcement and heat treatment. You also mentioned helping your colleagues and fellow researchers. When you’re guiding students or new researchers in the lab, how do you make sure they’re not just following instructions, but actually understanding the science behind the experiments?

You’ve really covered a wide range of advanced techniques—TEM, ultrasonic testing, residual stress analysis, even some cross-material welding. Since you’ve also supported your peers in their research, tell me—how do you measure whether your approach as a mentor or instructor is actually helping students become independent thinkers and problem-solvers?

Okay, so you’ve worked with impression key testing and non-destructive evaluation techniques like ultrasonic and residual stress analysis, even with copper-to-steel materials. You also mentioned guiding your peers through their projects. When you’re supporting students or colleagues in the lab, what do you do if you notice they’re just repeating procedures without understanding the principles behind them?

Alright, you’ve definitely got hands-on expertise with a broad range of advanced material characterization and manufacturing techniques, plus you’ve supported others in both destructive and non-destructive testing. I want to shift gears here—Professor, how do you envision fostering industry collaborations to enhance the practical relevance of research and teaching within VIT University’s academic framework?

OK, so. So I will focus on. Margin techniques. Especially. The national interest. So. So involving in. Defense techniques.

OK, so. So I will focus on. Margin techniques. Especially. The national interest. So. So involving in. Defense techniques. Solar. Renewable Energy. Green Energy. So, uh, current. The few advanced materials. Recently start working on that. Particular field. So characterization, development of new material, processing of that. Advanced Material. I will definitely help. Students and guide them. For their project. And so I will. Apply for. Various, uh. Project. From the external font. An internal funded from the industry collaboration. And uh. I will try to get. Funded project from them and consulted.

Alright, so you’d focus on margin techniques with a national interest angle, especially defense applications. Can you give me a concrete example of how you’d bring an actual industry partner into a research or teaching activity at VIT—what would that look like for students in practice?

OK, so. So I will focus on. Margin techniques. Especially. The national interest. So. So involving in. Defense techniques. Solar. Renewable Energy. Green Energy. So, uh, current. The few advanced materials. Recently start working on that. Particular field. So characterization, development of new material, processing of that. Advanced Material. I will definitely help. Students and guide them. For their project. And so I will. Apply for. Various, uh. Project. From the external font. An internal funded from the industry collaboration. And uh. I will try to get. Funded project from them and consulted. On the emerging techniques. Especially first area. First area related to. The emerging technology. Currently umm. Working on. Various industries and government needs. And national mission.

So you’d target defense, solar, and renewable energy—especially with advanced materials—and you’d tap both internal and external funding to support student projects with industry. When you actually bring in an industrial project, how do you keep students from just doing routine tasks versus tackling the kind of open-ended problems that drive real learning?

You mentioned applying for funded projects and collaborating with industries working on advanced materials, especially for national missions. When you bring students into these industry-linked projects, what do you do to make sure they're developing their own ideas and not just following instructions from the industry partner?

Yes, Sir. I will definitely guide them.

Okay, saying you'll guide them is a start, but can you give me an example of how you'd set up a classroom session—let's say you couldn’t use slides or a traditional lecture—to keep students engaged and actually thinking for themselves?

Yes, Sir. I will definitely guide them. For masters students and. Master Btech and PhD student. For bring the advancement of mater. That also characterization techniques. Her own idea. Own idea. Also related to like. I will try to implement the basically the project. Umm, mission and then completion of After completion of this project, I will definitely. Fund this project. Up to 30. To get.

Implementing. It means I. Can implement. Uh uh, data. Machine learning approaches.

Alright, so you'd try to move students toward their own project ideas, aiming for publications and patents beyond the initial industry brief. In practice, though, how do you know if your approach to engaging them is actually working—what do you look for in the classroom or lab to measure whether students are truly involved, not just completing tasks?

Alright, so you want to help students build their own ideas and aim for both publications and patents, even using AI and machine learning in manufacturing. Let’s get concrete—if you had to teach a core lab course in smart manufacturing, but you couldn’t use slides or a traditional lecture, what would you do in the classroom to make sure students are actually engaged and learning the material?

Right, now let's talk about your role beyond research and teaching. Accreditation cycles can be demanding—if you joined our department and found that outcome assessment data was inconsistent across courses, how would you approach fixing that?

Alright, so you’d encourage them to publish and patent, and you mentioned using AI and machine learning for optimization in manufacturing projects. Shifting gears, Professor, accreditation cycles can be demanding—if you joined our department and found that outcome assessment data was inconsistent across courses, how would you approach fixing that?

I believe that machine learning. Is a part of. Now, uh. Or publishing a paper. We should adopt this approach. For analyzing our data. Or publication paper. It's the. Time management. If you consider the time management, I will definitely. I have already. Experience on my field. Particularly in manufacturing. What I work in PhD journey? So I am definitely. Encourage. Pupil and myself to. Work on new area. Uh, and upload the new area.

I believe that machine learning. Is a part of. Now, uh. Or publishing a paper. We should adopt this approach. For analyzing our data. Or publication paper. It's the. Time management. If you consider the time management, I will definitely. I have already. Experience on my field. Particularly in manufacturing. What I work in PhD journey? So I am definitely. Encourage. Pupil and myself to. Work on new area. Uh, and upload the new area. Also completely empty. Try to complete the. Project.

I believe that machine learning. Is a part of. Now, uh. Or publishing a paper. We should adopt this approach. For analyzing our data. Or publication paper. It's the. Time management. If you consider the time management, I will definitely. I have already. Experience on my field. Particularly in manufacturing. What I work in PhD journey? So I am definitely. Encourage. Pupil and myself to. Work on new area. Uh, and upload the new area. Also completely empty. Try to complete the. Project. Within within due time. And then I will. Try to apply this effect. Uh, machine tools on my. Now people are working. Interview I believe. Help for linking 1. Appeal to field. But in OK, Sir. Uh, so. I will first analyze the data.

You talked quite a bit about using machine learning for data analysis and encouraging time management, but with outcome assessment data, the challenge is more about consistency and documentation for accreditation. Can you walk me through exactly how you’d get faculty on board to standardize assessment reporting across the department?

Okay, you’ve emphasized machine learning and time management a lot, but accreditation is more about making sure the whole department is producing reliable, well-documented assessment data—not just analyzing research results. If you were asked to help prepare for an external accreditation visit, what steps would you personally take to ensure our program’s records and processes meet rigorous standards?

Alright, so you’d start by analyzing the data. But accreditation requires not just technical fixes — it’s also about making sure faculty are documenting assessment methods and following common rubrics. How comfortable are you with managing the paperwork and coordination that goes along with those day-to-day accreditation responsibilities?

OK, Sir. Uh, so. I will first analyze the data. For my research. These data are. Uh, correct or? Is a confidential correct? Good for further. And I'm like I will. Definitely consider. And approaching.

OK, Sir. Uh, so. I will first analyze the data. For my research. These data are. Uh, correct or? Is a confidential correct? Good for further. And I'm like I will. Definitely consider. And approaching. Research techniques. Then I will pick it. No part of that. Uh, emphasis.

Thank you. Now, Professor, let's consider a scenario: imagine a student files a formal complaint alleging your grading is biased, but at the same time, your department head is pressuring you to improve pass rates. How would you navigate that situation?

So you’d start by analyzing whether the data is correct and relevant, and use research techniques to address any issues. But what if your department head disagrees with your approach and wants you to just submit the numbers without digging deeper—how would you handle that?

OK, so I. I will definitely. Have deeper knowledge about my research area.

Okay, so you’d rely on your expertise and stand by your approach if you disagreed with the department head. But if they insisted you follow their direction, even if you felt it compromised academic integrity, how would you handle that situation?

OK, so I. I will definitely. Have deeper knowledge about my research area. So I'm confident about that. I will, uh. And then I will expect. Close the top. Related to other areas like. 1st I will consider my. Get confusion about my. Support the next.

Given your research in advanced manufacturing and materials, do you have any specific industry connections or examples of past collaborations that could translate into internship or placement opportunities for students at VIT University?

OK, so currently. My colleagues. My fellow researcher. My years are working. Various. Various. Uh, transition also.

OK, so currently. My colleagues. My fellow researcher. My years are working. Various. Various. Uh, transition also. They can help me. Uh, cheap and uh. To get uh. In collaboration. For the two days. Definitely I will try.

OK, so currently. My colleagues. My fellow researcher. My years are working. Various. Various. Uh, transition also. They can help me. Uh, cheap and uh. To get uh. In collaboration. For the two days. Definitely I will try. Bring some output from. There so industry collaboration also. I will definitely try. From my. Colleagues and. Fellow researcher. My Currently I'm a research scholar. So I am. I don't have. Students and. Uh, like but my. Hello, research my senior. My student. Sorry.

OK, so currently. My colleagues. My fellow researcher. My years are working. Various. Various. Uh, transition also. They can help me. Uh, cheap and uh. To get uh. In collaboration. For the two days. Definitely I will try. Bring some output from. There so industry collaboration also. I will definitely try. From my. Colleagues and. Fellow researcher.

Alright, so your fellow researchers are involved in various transitions and collaborations. Can you give me a concrete example of a company or industry partner you've actually worked with, and explain how a student could benefit from that relationship?

So your network is mostly through colleagues and fellow researchers, and you’d try to leverage those connections for collaboration. Can you give me a concrete example of a company or industry partner you’ve actually worked with, and explain what you did with them?

Alright, so you’d try to bring outputs and opportunities through your network of colleagues and fellow researchers. Can you walk me through a specific instance where you or your team actually collaborated with an industry partner—what was the company, what did the students get to do, and what was the real outcome?

Alright, sounds like you haven't had direct students under you yet, which makes sense as a current research scholar. Let's talk about teaching—imagine you're assigned both a theory course and its corresponding lab for smart manufacturing. How would you make sure students connect the concepts from lectures to what they actually do in the lab?

Currently I'm a research scholar. So I am. I don't have. Students and. Uh, like but my. Hello, research my senior. My student. Sorry. Me also tried to approach. Steve for the. Internship 6. Next month internship program or? Laboratory experiment performed in other. Institution. Academic. Basically. Collaborating with. Academic institution for our. But we. Approach. Try to approach them. Professors at. Part Laboratories.

Currently I'm a research scholar. So I am. I don't have. Students and. Uh, like but my. Hello, research my senior. My student. Sorry. Me also tried to approach. Steve for the. Internship 6. Next month internship program or? Laboratory experiment performed in other. Institution. Academic. Basically. Collaborating with. Academic institution for our. But we. Approach. Try to approach them. Professors at. Part Laboratories. Uh, for. Elemental Purpose.

Currently I'm a research scholar. So I am. I don't have. Students and. Uh, like but my. Hello, research my senior. My student. Sorry. Me also tried to approach. Steve for the. Internship 6. Next month internship program or? Laboratory experiment performed in other. Institution. Academic. Basically. Collaborating with. Academic institution for our. But we. Approach. Try to approach them. Professors at. Part Laboratories. Uh, for. Elemental Purpose. And also I will definitely.

Currently I'm a research scholar. So I am. I don't have. Students and. Uh, like but my. Hello, research my senior. My student. Sorry. Me also tried to approach. Steve for the. Internship 6. Next month internship program or? Laboratory experiment performed in other. Institution. Academic. Basically. Collaborating with. Academic institution for our. But we. Approach. Try to approach them. Professors at. Part Laboratories. Uh, for. Elemental Purpose. And also I will definitely. Program other than this. I also. Have experience? Regarding the. Uh, international. The international internship, not internship, actually international research. A master student. Not, not. Industry in academic. Uh, research work. In various delusions. Program in. In university.

Alright, so as a research scholar you haven’t directly supervised students into industry internships yet, but you’ve been involved in approaching labs and professors for collaborative academic placements. Let’s switch gears—imagine you’re teaching both a theory course and its associated lab. How do you make sure students actually connect the theory to hands-on lab work, instead of just treating them as totally separate subjects?

Currently I'm a research scholar. So I am. I don't have. Students and. Uh, like but my. Hello, research my senior. My student. Sorry. Me also tried to approach. Steve for the. Internship 6. Next month internship program or? Laboratory experiment performed in other. Institution. Academic. Basically. Collaborating with. Academic institution for our. But we. Approach. Try to approach them. Professors at. Part Laboratories. Uh, for. Elemental Purpose. And also I will definitely. Program other than this. I also. Have experience? Regarding the. Uh, international. The international internship, not internship, actually international research. A master student. Not, not. Industry in academic. Uh, research work. In various delusions. Program in. In university. Globally Reco. And Aadhaar industrial approach. For collaboration. After collaboration. Only I I will get, you know. A link for. Uh, internship program. Or or. Research collaboration for my OK, so. I will definitely. Uh, during. Uh. I will try to give. A practical example.

Alright, Mr. Shah, since you haven't directly supervised students into industry internships yet, let's shift focus. When you're teaching both a theory course and its corresponding lab, how do you make sure the practical lab work really reinforces the core concepts from your lectures, instead of just being a checklist of experiments?

Alright, since you're still early in your teaching career, let's pivot. When you do get the chance to teach both a theory class and its lab, how would you make sure your students connect the hands-on work to the underlying concepts, instead of just following instructions?

Alright, so you've mainly participated in collaborative academic projects and facilitated lab-based research opportunities, not direct industry internships yet. Shifting over—when you're teaching both a theory class and its corresponding lab, how do you make sure students actually connect what they're learning in lectures to what they're doing in the lab?

OK, so. I will definitely. Uh, during. Uh. I will try to give. A practical example. For laboratory. Based examples.

Alright, you said you'd give practical examples, but let's say you're teaching a lab on advanced welding techniques using micro plasma arc welding. If a student struggles to connect the welding parameters with the material's mechanical properties, how would you guide them to bridge that gap?

OK, so. I will definitely. Uh, during. Uh. I will try to give. A practical example. For laboratory. Based examples. In the based example. My experience. Experiences. In the course. So that the student. Get to preview about. The project. Or any hands on experimental? Are you listen?

OK, so. I will definitely. Uh, during. Uh. I will try to give. A practical example. For laboratory. Based examples. In the based example. My experience. Experiences. In the course. So that the student. Get to preview about. The project. Or any hands on experimental? Are you listen? Significant sports. So that students. Where we have. A significant about. A hands on experiment on the. Participation. Particular design. Amit, Miguel or design?

You mentioned using practical examples in your teaching, but can you describe a specific theory topic and the exact lab experiment you’d pair with it to help students really grasp the concept?

OK, so. I will definitely. Uh, during. Uh. I will try to give. A practical example. For laboratory. Based examples. In the based example. My experience. Experiences. In the course. So that the student. Get to preview about. The project. Or any hands on experimental? Are you listen? Significant sports. So that students. Where we have. A significant about. A hands on experiment on the. Participation. Particular design. Amit, Miguel or design? Manufacturing process. So if they directly go. For the experimental. They will get. They will adapt. From my. And linked this concept. To the experimental thing. I will. During my course studies, I will definitely. Include that. Experimental exposure. Real experimental exposure. In my course and. Try to implement. Few examples. Few research things. Also not also the researchers are doing. In the partic. Area.

OK, so. I will definitely. Uh, during. Uh. I will try to give. A practical example. For laboratory. Based examples. In the based example. My experience. Experiences. In the course. So that the student. Get to preview about. The project. Or any hands on experimental? Are you listen? Significant sports. So that students. Where we have. A significant about. A hands on experiment on the. Participation. Particular design. Amit, Miguel or design? Manufacturing process. So if they directly go. For the experimental. They will get. They will adapt. From my. And linked this concept. To the experimental thing. I will. During my course studies, I will definitely. Include that. Experimental exposure. Real experimental exposure. In my course and. Try to implement. Few examples. Few research things. Also not also the researchers are doing. In the partic. Area. Thank you.

Okay, so you’d share practical examples from your experience to tie theory with lab experiments and make it clear how each one connects to the course content. What about evaluating students—when you’re running both theory and lab courses, how do you make sure your grading is fair and reflects their understanding, not just their ability to follow steps?

Alright, you’d use your own experience to connect theory and lab work, and you mentioned getting students involved in hands-on experiments related to the design process. When it comes to evaluating students in those lab courses, how do you make sure your grading is both fair and encourages real learning—not just checking boxes?

Right, so you’d bring your real-world experience and research into the classroom to help students link theory and hands-on lab work. Now, Professor, when it comes to evaluating students and handling exam duties, what’s your strategy for making sure assessments are both fair and actually measure what matters for the course?

Okay, so you’d make sure that students get real experimental exposure and tie research examples into your teaching. When it comes to exam duties, Professor, walk me through how you’d handle evaluating a large class after a lab exam—what’s your process for making sure grading is fair and consistent?

OK, so in the. Class I will definitely. Uh, spectacles, Students A. Research based output. Or like in. Application based output from them I will definitely give. That make certain group. Among them. And give a give. New emerging technique. OK, application based project. To them and. They so that they can implement their. Theoretical knowledge. Practical expertise. In the particular application based project. So that they. They will implement.

OK, so in the. Class I will definitely. Uh, spectacles, Students A. Research based output. Or like in. Application based output from them I will definitely give. That make certain group. Among them. And give a give. New emerging technique. OK, application based project. To them and. They so that they can implement their. Theoretical knowledge. Practical expertise. In the particular application based project. So that they. They will implement. On that project. And they will definitely get. Good result.

OK, so in the. Class I will definitely. Uh, spectacles, Students A. Research based output. Or like in. Application based output from them I will definitely give. That make certain group. Among them. And give a give. New emerging technique. OK, application based project. To them and. They so that they can implement their. Theoretical knowledge. Practical expertise. In the particular application based project. So that they. They will implement. On that project. And they will definitely get. Good result. On that project. Or application based. And I will definitely evaluate by. So by them. Output in terms of. Uh, research paper in terms of. Conference participation International. Conference participation. Or they can present. Projects. Step on in the basis of. International Platform. I will definitely evaluate by them. By this process. And if you consider the lab based. Exam grading.

Alright, you described forming student groups for application-based projects, but for a large lab class, what's your process to make sure every student's contribution is recognized and the grading stays consistent across different groups?

Alright, so you said you'd assign application-based projects in groups, but what do you actually do if one group member doesn't participate—how do you make sure your grading stays fair for every student?

You talked about encouraging publications and mentioned your own experience with papers and conferences, but I need to know—can you give me one specific example of a research paper you've published in a reputed journal, including the topic and what made that work significant?

Yes, one question. My area is on. Super Alloy A manufacturing process of super alloy. So. Currently uh. I want to work on. There so. Uh, is there, uh. Any collaboration? Or or any. Uh uh, not collaboration techn.

Alright, your focus is on superalloy manufacturing and you’re interested in opportunities for collaboration or technology partnerships here. I’ll need to

Yes, in vit. Any superhero.

Yes, in vit. Any superhero. High temperature application app. Laboratory facility. I want to. Is it possible?

For superalloy manufacturing, VIT is open to research collaborations and technology partnerships—especially when they align with emerging technology areas and benefit both research and student learning. If you join, you'd have support to pursue such partnerships as long as they fit the curriculum and research focus. Anything else you'd like to know, Professor?

So you're interested in whether VIT has lab facilities for superalloy research or high-temperature applications. VIT does have advanced lab infrastructure and is open to research collaborations, especially in emerging technology areas. If your work aligns with department priorities, there are pathways to access or develop specialized facilities, though specific equipment needs would be discussed with the department head. Anything else you'd like to ask about the team or the role, Professor? You can ask one more question if you wish.

OK. What would be my role on that particular job?
