Later on I have completed my PhD and then. I have. IIT Guwahati. Asia Institute, Posto. And work for two years. Under the mentorship of Professor Sajan Kapil.

Yes. I am Doctor Deepak Kumar. I have completed my PhD from IITR Sundarbad in Mechanical engineering. In 2016. In 2023. And uh, my Mtech is from IIT ISM Dhanbad in 2016. Later on I have completed my PhD and then. I have. IIT Guwahati. Asia Institute, Posto. And work for two years. Under the mentorship of Professor Sajan Kapil. On raw material production. For metal additive manufacturing process.

Alright, so you completed your PhD in Mechanical Engineering from IITR Sundarbad back in 2016. Can you walk me through what you've focused on in your academic career since then?

Yes. I am Doctor Deepak Kumar. I have completed my PhD from IITR Sundarbad in Mechanical engineering. In 2016. In 2023. And uh, my Mtech is from IIT ISM Dhanbad in 2016. Later on I have completed my PhD and then. I have. IIT Guwahati. Asia Institute, Posto. And work for two years. Under the mentorship of Professor Sajan Kapil. On raw material production. For metal additive manufacturing process. I am more curious to. Develop. Micron Nano fabrication system. It advanced manufacturing system. And developing AI model or digital twin for advanced manufacturing system.

So you completed your PhD in 2016, and you mentioned 2023—were you starting a new position or research focus then? Go ahead and share more about what happened in your career after your doctorate.

Dr. Deepak Kumar, thinking about your time teaching so far, what's one foundational concept in mechanical engineering that you particularly enjoy helping students understand?

Okay, so you completed your MTech at IIT ISM Dhanbad, followed by your PhD at IITR Sundarbad, and then you mentioned IIT Guwahati and Asia Institute, but it sounded like your thought was unfinished. Can you clarify your current academic position or main teaching environment?

So after your PhD and MTech, you spent two years at IIT Guwahati and the Asia Institute. Can you describe the types of courses or labs you taught during that period?

Alright, you spent two years working under Professor Sajan Kapil at IIT Guwahati and the Asia Institute. Can you tell me about a specific laboratory course or hands-on project you guided during that time, and what your approach was to helping students connect theory with practical application?

Thanks for clarifying, Dr. Deepak Kumar. So you worked on raw material production for metal additive manufacturing under Professor Sajan Kapil. Let me ask—when guiding students through hands-on work in this area, what's one common misconception or challenge they face with the relationship between material properties and the final manufactured part?

Okay, so your research is moving toward advanced manufacturing—micron and nano fabrication systems, plus developing AI models and digital twins for manufacturing. When you introduce these advanced topics to students, how do you make sure they grasp the practical impact, not just the theory?

During my PhD. I have developed one prototype machine. That is called Maglab EDM. And these must. Used for testing the stability of the conventional idiom setup. And we are also improving the performance of. Conventional EDM compared to the. Megalovidium.

During my PhD. I have developed one prototype machine. That is called Maglab EDM. And these must. Used for testing the stability of the conventional idiom setup. And we are also improving the performance of. Conventional EDM compared to the. Megalovidium. Here Maglev idiom is used to test the stability, to test the feasibility and improving the machining condition. So these products can be developed at Bit Vellore. To see the feasibility and to. Test the predictability. Of the system.

During my PhD. I have developed one prototype machine. That is called Maglab EDM. And these must. Used for testing the stability of the conventional idiom setup. And we are also improving the performance of. Conventional EDM compared to the. Megalovidium. Here Maglev idiom is used to test the stability, to test the feasibility and improving the machining condition. So these products can be developed at Bit Vellore. To see the feasibility and to. Test the predictability. Of the system. Have been developed during my PhD towers. BT Hours.

During my PhD. I have developed one prototype machine. That is called Maglab EDM. And these must. Used for testing the stability of the conventional idiom setup. And we are also improving the performance of. Conventional EDM compared to the. Megalovidium. Here Maglev idiom is used to test the stability, to test the feasibility and improving the machining condition. So these products can be developed at Bit Vellore. To see the feasibility and to. Test the predictability. Of the system. Have been developed during my PhD towers. BT Hours. With the help of these prototype machine we can. Easily handle. Uh, a student. To check check the feasibility and accessibility of the system.

Alright, so you developed the Maglab EDM prototype to test and improve upon conventional EDM setups, focusing on performance and stability. Given your research in advanced manufacturing, where do you see the most promising or fundable directions for the next few years? Which external grants or funding sources would you target to sustain and grow this line of research?

Alright, let’s shift gears to your teaching approach. Suppose you’re leading a large Mechatronics class—let’s say 150 students—and you’re not allowed to use slides or traditional lectures. How would you design a session that actively engages students and helps them connect complex theories to hands-on practice?

Right, let's talk about your role in broader academic responsibilities. 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?

So you’re saying with the Maglab EDM prototype, you can help students directly test system feasibility and accessibility. But if you found, say, your colleagues in other courses were collecting outcome data differently—some qualitative, some quantitative—how would you bring everyone together to standardize assessment for accreditation purposes?

Yes. Uh, we have already tested the feasibility of this megalom system. And we have compared the. Performance efficiency of this maglevarium with the conventional EDM system. And with the help of this system we have. Already improved the performance of the conventional megabytium. Compared to the conventional idiom. Here we have what we have compared. Here we have compared the specific energy of the. Micromedeum system with the conventional idiom. We have also tested the feasibility in terms of material removal rate.

Yes. Uh, we have already tested the feasibility of this megalom system. And we have compared the. Performance efficiency of this maglevarium with the conventional EDM system.

Yes. Uh, we have already tested the feasibility of this megalom system. And we have compared the. Performance efficiency of this maglevarium with the conventional EDM system. And with the help of this system we have. Already improved the performance of the conventional megabytium. Compared to the conventional idiom. Here we have what we have compared. Here we have compared the specific energy of the. Micromedeum system with the conventional idiom. We have also tested the feasibility in terms of material removal rate. 28. And surface roughness. And in all these cases. We have, uh, we have. We have test the feasibility and we have. Uh, uh, we have seen the improve. Performance of the Megalom. Compared to the conventional idiom. So this system can be developed or this system can be. Developed at IIT bit hello in the improved version.

Yes. Uh, we have already tested the feasibility of this megalom system. And we have compared the. Performance efficiency of this maglevarium with the conventional EDM system. And with the help of this system we have. Already improved the performance of the conventional megabytium. Compared to the conventional idiom. Here we have what we have compared. Here we have compared the specific energy of the. Micromedeum system with the conventional idiom. We have also tested the feasibility in terms of material removal rate. 28. And surface roughness. And in all these cases. We have, uh, we have. We have test the feasibility and we have. Uh, uh, we have seen the improve. Performance of the Megalom. Compared to the conventional idiom. So this system can be developed or this system can be. Developed at IIT bit hello in the improved version. So this improvement will further cause the. Abhiyait Vellore to. Take the. Accreditation point.

Alright, so you've tested the Maglev EDM's feasibility and compared its efficiency to conventional EDM, but when it comes to accreditation, it's not just about the technical results—it's about documenting and aligning those results for program review. What specific steps would you take to ensure that your colleagues and you are collecting and reporting outcome assessment data in a way that meets accreditation requirements, not just internal research goals?

Alright, so you've compared things like specific energy and material removal rate between your Maglev EDM and conventional EDM, and you're familiar with running those kinds of feasibility studies. Shifting to your experience with student mentorship—how would you ensure a structured and methodical approach to guiding students in research projects, especially in fast-evolving areas like Smart Vehicle Technologies?

Alright, so you're clearly comfortable running comparative studies and improving prototypes, but accreditation is a different kind of rigor—it's about demonstrating that student learning outcomes are assessed consistently across the department, not just in your lab or course. Can you walk me through what day-to-day responsibilities accreditation compliance would actually require from you as a faculty member?

Alright, so you’ve demonstrated that your Maglev EDM prototype and comparative studies can directly support outcome-based learning, but in the context of accreditation, it’s also about ensuring that student outcomes are consistently documented and measured across the entire program, not just in your research group. What specific steps would you take to make sure all faculty align their assessment metrics and reporting so the department meets accreditation standards year after year?

First Ibid developed a micro nano fabrication. Where we are going to develop the Maglev improved version of Maglev EDM system? And with the help of that megalodon system. We are. Publish more numbers of uh. More numbers of general papers. Patent and we are also. With the help of this improved version of Megalomedium system, we can also. Apply for the. Funding to the. Government Government agencies such as DST. SARV and DRDO. And these will follow. Other help in accreditation point. Create a load.

Alright, Dr., shifting gears a bit. Imagine a situation where a student formally complains that your grading is biased, and at the same time, your department head is pressuring you to raise pass rates in your course. How would you handle this tension between academic integrity and institutional expectations?

Yes, yes, we will recheck the once again. Whatever we have checked earlier. We have received the copy and we will find whatever there is problem we will. Try to identify. Whether this is the gradient system is. Uh, good or not? And with the help of diet, we are going to analyze the whole. What and? By analyzing if there is a something else to do. We can go for the improvement, otherwise we are. Continue.

Yes, yes, we will recheck the once again. Whatever we have checked earlier. We have received the copy and we will find whatever there is problem we will.

Alright, let's shift to industry alignment. Given your background in advanced manufacturing and nano fabrication, do you have any existing collaborations with industry partners that could help students access internships or real-world projects?

Okay, so your plan is to recheck the grading, analyze the system, and only make changes if there’s real evidence of bias or error—otherwise you’d stand by your grades. Now, turning to industry alignment: with your background in advanced manufacturing and nano fabrication, do you have any existing collaborations with industry partners that could help students secure internships or work on real-world projects?

Yes, yes.

Yes, yes. My my colleagues are working in the industry such as. Is micromatic machine tools.

Okay, that's a start, but can you give me a concrete example—maybe name a company or describe a specific industry partnership you've been involved with that led to student placements or joint research?

Yes, yes. My my colleagues are working in the industry such as. Is micromatic machine tools. Barnica Procedure Private Limited. And some some of the colleagues are also working in the micro nano features fabrication industry. And. To allow for the. Internship program for the student.

Okay, so you mentioned colleagues at Micromatic Machine Tools. Can you walk me through a specific instance where that connection directly benefited your students—like arranging an internship, organizing a site visit, or collaborating on a project?

Alright, you mentioned colleagues at Micromatic Machine Tools and Barnica Procedure Private Limited, and some connections in micro and nano fabrication. Can you walk me through a specific instance where that network directly benefited your students—like arranging an internship, organizing a site visit, or setting up a collaborative project?

Yes, yes, we will arrange the. In the company HR. The vice we are. Who are working in the? Industrial industry.

Yes, yes, we will arrange the. In the company HR. The vice we are. Who are working in the? Industrial industry. And we are taking. Their HR or the management? And we we can arrange the internship program for the student.

Alright, let's talk about your experience guiding student projects and research. Can you describe a time when a student's project took an unexpected turn, and how you helped them navigate it?

So you’d set up the internship by reaching out directly to HR or management in the relevant companies where your contacts work. Thinking about your role in student evaluation and exam duties, can you tell me about a time you had to handle a suspected case of academic dishonesty or plagiarism during grading? What was your process?

I have not handled any suspected case.

I have not handled any suspected case. Capacity or during my postdoc hour.

Alright, you haven't had to handle plagiarism cases yet. Shifting to another key area—when you're guiding student research, what's your strategy for helping students select a project topic that's both achievable and genuinely advances the field?

I have not handled any suspected case. Capacity or during my postdoc hour. So I am not a. Here to. I'm not here to. Have there any case? That can, uh, demonstrate this.

Alright, you haven’t had to deal with plagiarism cases so far. Shifting to how you guide student projects and research—say you’re advising a master's student whose project is stalling or heading off track. How do you intervene to help them get moving in a productive direction?

Alright, you haven't had to handle plagiarism cases yet. Shifting to another key area—when you're guiding student research, what's your strategy for helping students select a project topic that's both feasible and meaningful for their academic development?

Yes, yes. During my PhD hours I have developed three prototype machine. First one is the high speed maglev EDM system. Using the bipolar linear motor. Second one. The advanced version of Meghla idiom system.

Yes, yes. During my PhD hours I have developed three prototype machine. First one is the high speed maglev EDM system. Using the bipolar linear motor. Second one. The advanced version of Meghla idiom system. Which is the improved version of previous Megalom system that is. Based on the unipolar. Linear motor driven megalomidium system.

Yes, yes. During my PhD hours I have developed three prototype machine. First one is the high speed maglev EDM system. Using the bipolar linear motor. Second one. The advanced version of Meghla idiom system. Which is the improved version of previous Megalom system that is. Based on the unipolar. Linear motor driven megalomidium system. We have also developed a prototype machine of. Support that is fabrication of copper file fabrication system.

Yes, yes. During my PhD hours I have developed three prototype machine. First one is the high speed maglev EDM system. Using the bipolar linear motor. Second one. The advanced version of Meghla idiom system. Which is the improved version of previous Megalom system that is. Based on the unipolar. Linear motor driven megalomidium system. We have also developed a prototype machine of. Support that is fabrication of copper file fabrication system. So we have raised the feasibility. And. Accessibility. As a prototype level. And we are going to demonstrate. This prototype to the student in the initial phase of mild joining.

So you mentioned developing three prototype machines during your PhD, including the high-speed Maglev EDM system. Shifting to your teaching approach—imagine you have to introduce a complex concept from semiconductor manufacturing, like cleanroom protocols or photolithography, to students who've never seen this environment before. How would you structure that lesson to ensure clarity and engagement?

Alright, so you guided students by exposing them to your prototypes like the high-speed Maglev EDM and its advanced versions. But walk me through how you actually help a student narrow down their project idea—are you more hands-on in suggesting topics, or do you push them to identify their own research questions?

So you described developing multiple prototype machines, including a high-speed Maglev EDM system and its advanced version. When you're teaching, how do you break down complex topics like the control of a bipolar or unipolar linear motor so that students with minimal background can follow and apply the concepts in a lab setting?

Okay, so you give students hands-on exposure to your prototype machines at the early stage of their projects. Let's shift to communication—when you're teaching a complex topic, say the principles behind a digital twin in manufacturing, how do you structure your explanations to make sure all students, including those without much background, can follow along?

Yes, yes. Whatever I have developed during my pH D.

Yes, yes. Whatever I have developed during my pH D. Uh, these prototype can be developed easily there.

Yes, yes. Whatever I have developed during my pH D. Uh, these prototype can be developed easily there. With help of debt prototype. We'll also allow the. Dead prototype machine. That means if we have developed a megalom system. We can also. Go for the digital twin version of this Megalom system. Where we can directly use the machine signal.

You were saying whatever you've developed during your PhD—can you be more specific? For instance, when you're teaching about digital twins, how do you break that concept down in a way that a student with just basic manufacturing knowledge can actually understand and engage with it?

Yes, yes. Whatever I have developed during my pH D. Uh, these prototype can be developed easily there. With help of debt prototype. We'll also allow the. Dead prototype machine. That means if we have developed a megalom system. We can also. Go for the digital twin version of this Megalom system. Where we can directly use the machine signal. For the, uh, data collect collection. And this data will be further implies. For the development development of. Running model. And this model will further. J percent of the process in the material removal rate. Surface.

Okay, so you feel the prototypes you built during your PhD are accessible enough to be used for teaching complex ideas. But just having a prototype may not be enough for everyone—what's your strategy if a student still doesn't get the concept after your initial explanation and demo?

Yes, yes. Whatever I have developed during my pH D. Uh, these prototype can be developed easily there. With help of debt prototype. We'll also allow the. Dead prototype machine. That means if we have developed a megalom system. We can also. Go for the digital twin version of this Megalom system. Where we can directly use the machine signal. For the, uh, data collect collection. And this data will be further implies. For the development development of. Running model. And this model will further. J percent of the process in the material removal rate. Surface. Or maybe the specific energy improvement?

So you’d use your prototype Maglev system as the foundation, and then show students how a digital twin can be built by leveraging real machine signals. But not all students will have a strong controls or programming background—how do you adapt your communication style or structure your lectures so those students aren’t left behind?

Right, so you’d build a digital twin by collecting machine signal data from your prototype and use that to help students understand the modeling process. Earlier you mentioned publishing research and patents—can you give me an example of a research paper you published in a reputed journal, and explain briefly what made that work novel?

Alright, so you’d use the prototype for data collection and modeling, which helps students connect theory to practical outcomes. Now, Dr., can you share a moment where your research publications directly impacted your teaching or student projects? Maybe a journal article or patent you published became the basis for a class module or student experiment?

Yes, yes. Whatever the prototype I have developed. That the Maglev idiom system based on bypoll. Air Base.

Yes, yes. Whatever the prototype I have developed. That the Maglev idiom system based on bypoll. Air Base. And we have also developed the copper file fabric. This can be this machine has been patented and we have also. Filed some patent. Based on the innovation in the technology development.

Yes, yes. Whatever the prototype I have developed. That the Maglev idiom system based on bypoll. Air Base. And we have also developed the copper file fabric. This can be this machine has been patented and we have also. Filed some patent. Based on the innovation in the technology development. So these, uh, these, uh. Marines development with. Thanks for the. For the publication of large numbers of general papers conferences. We are also going to develop some pattern based on the new technology. That is the maglev idiom.

Yes, yes. Whatever the prototype I have developed. That the Maglev idiom system based on bypoll. Air Base. And we have also developed the copper file fabric. This can be this machine has been patented and we have also. Filed some patent. Based on the innovation in the technology development. So these, uh, these, uh. Marines development with. Thanks for the. For the publication of large numbers of general papers conferences. We are also going to develop some pattern based on the new technology. That is the maglev idiom. System and we are also improving the performance of this mega video system further for the consideration. In the general paper conferences. And we are also. If any fish. Ability more feasibility study is over there.

Alright, so your Maglev EDM publication and prototypes have been central to your teaching and project guidance. Shifting to your industry work—have you ever participated in consultancy projects or industry-sponsored research, and if so, what was your direct contribution?

So your Maglev EDM system and the copper wire fabrication prototype have both resulted in patents, and you’ve filed additional ones based on your technology innovations. With that, have you ever participated in consultancy work or industry projects—either as a formal consultant or through sponsored research—where you brought your academic expertise to solve a real-world industrial problem?

So your patent work around the Maglev EDM and copper wire fabrication machines fed directly into both publications and technology demonstration for students. Earlier you mentioned industry connections for internships—have you ever participated in a consultancy project or industry-sponsored research, and if so, what was your role in translating those experiences into classroom or lab learning for your students?

You said you've published a large number of journal papers and conferences based on your prototypes. Can you name a couple of those journals or conferences where your work was accepted, and briefly describe the main finding or contribution of one of your papers?

Yes, yes, my based on my prototype. My My paper has been published in the Journal of Mechanical System and Signal Processing.

And based on my prototype. And the major contribution in this paper, we have developed a stable gap control mechanism. We have. Uh, given the statement in one of the paper. That we have developed a stable gap control mechanism. And we have also replaced the conventional idiom servo head. With the help of new version of. Idiom head, that is the magnetic levitation waste stable gap control mechanism.

Yes, yes, my based on my prototype. My My paper has been published in the Journal of Mechanical System and Signal Processing.

That we have developed a stable gap control mechanism.

Alright, so your work was published in the Journal of Mechanical System and Signal Processing. For that paper, what was the main technical challenge you solved, and how did your results advance the current state of the art in your field?

Yes, yes, my based on my prototype. My My paper has been published in the Journal of Mechanical System and Signal Processing. Second will be the sensor and situator part A. 3rd is CIRP general of manifesting system and technology? And 4th 1 is Ceramics International. So these are all generals. We have published the paper in these journals. And and uh, we have also attended some conference based on my prototype. Dietitian. 2019. We have also ICMC 2021. We have a. Also I see AMC 2025.

That we have developed a stable gap control mechanism. And we have also replaced the conventional idiom servo head. With the help of new version of. Idiom head, that is the magnetic levitation waste stable gap control mechanism. Best idiom machine? Where we have replaced the mechanical servo head with the help of magnetic levitation based situator.

Alright, so you’ve published in Mechanical System and Signal Processing, Sensor and Actuator A, CIRP Journal of Manufacturing Science and Technology, and Ceramics International. For the paper in Mechanical System and Signal Processing, what was the main technical challenge you solved, and how did your results advance the current state of manufacturing research?

Alright, so you've got publications in top journals like CIRP and Sensors and Actuators A. Shifting focus to industry—have you ever participated in consultancy projects or industry-funded research, and if so, what was your specific role?

Alright, so your work's been published in journals like Mechanical System and Signal Processing, Sensors and Actuators A, CIRP Journal, and Ceramics International, all off the back of your prototype research. Now, thinking about your teaching approach, when you're structuring a new theory or lab course—how do you decide what content to include, and how do you make sure the practical components actually reinforce the concepts from the lectures?

Alright, so your work has reached journals like CIRP and you've also presented at conferences like ICMC and ICAMC. Let’s pivot a bit—since teaching is a big part of this role, how do you ensure your lectures are structured in a way that keeps even the less-engaged students on track, especially when the material gets technical?

Alright, so you've published in top journals and presented at major conferences based on your prototype work, with a focus on innovations like stable gap control mechanisms. Now, thinking about industry projects or consultancy—have you ever been directly involved in a consultancy assignment or industry-funded project, where you had to deliver specific outcomes for a company or external partner? If so, what was your role and what did you deliver?

Okay, so you've published in major journals and presented at international conferences, and your stable gap control mechanism is a notable contribution. Now, last required topic—have you been involved in any industry consultancy or industry-funded research projects, and if so, what role did you play?

Alright, you've clearly got a strong publication record in reputable journals, and your stable gap control mechanism is a notable innovation. Now, last required topic—have you been involved in any industry consultancy projects or research that's directly funded by companies? If so, can you share a brief example?

Recently I have not get any project fund based on my prototype. I am. Uh, we will get the funding from the different government agency or private agencies.

Okay, so you've facilitated internships by leveraging your network, but to clarify—have you personally participated in any industry project or consultancy work, not just through colleagues, but as a direct contributor or advisor?

Yes, yes, we can develop. Proposal for funding the. Uh, we are acquiring the funding from the different agencies.

Yes, yes, we can develop. Proposal for funding the. Uh, we are acquiring the funding from the different agencies. That is a government agency of private collaboration. We are seeking the fund from the. Different agencies, Government agency.

You mentioned using your prototypes as teaching tools, but I'd like to hear more about your classroom approach. Say you’re introducing a new, complex topic—how do you plan out your lecture and structure your explanation so students with different backgrounds can follow and stay engaged?

Alright, you’re in the process of seeking agency funding and setting up collaborations, but you haven’t been formally engaged in consultancy yet—got it. Now, thinking about structured teaching: when you’re explaining something technical in class, how do you check if your students are actually understanding the material? What’s your method for gauging comprehension in real time?

Yes. For the waiter. Understanding to make the beta stand in. Understanding of the. A student we are. Going to demonstrate some prototype machines. Based on advanced manufacturing system.

Yes. For the waiter. Understanding to make the beta stand in. Understanding of the. A student we are. Going to demonstrate some prototype machines. Based on advanced manufacturing system. And and this way we are also going to create some features with the help of this. Prototype machine. So that a student can easily visualise the HL machine. And with the help of HL machine they can also grasp the information. What really happening in the machining system? During the fabrication of any features.

So you use prototype demonstrations to help students grasp advanced manufacturing concepts, but how do you tell in real time if they're actually understanding the principles—do you ask questions during the demo, use quick quizzes, or something else to check their grasp before moving forward?

So you use hands-on demonstrations to help students visualize advanced machining concepts. But during the class, how do you actually check if everyone’s following—do you ask specific questions, have them solve problems on the spot, or use some other method to gauge if the explanation landed?

Yes, yes. We can use the PowerPoint presentation to demonstrate the video based. Uh, concept building. And we are also going to demonstrate some of the, uh. The presentation prototype. Machine in the presentation and with the help of that presentation video. We can demonstrate. Demonstrate the aspirant to go for the better understand understanding of the concept. So with the help of presentation, real time presentation. We can help the student for the better understand understanding of the problem. What are the reasons? Yes, yes.
