    Hey! I'm Sumit

    Currently, I am a doctoral student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India. I graduated from Birsa Institute of Technology (BIT) Sindri with a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering. Before joining as a full-time PhD student, I worked with the Camfil Group for seven months as a Graduate Engineer. I also worked with Tata Steel and Lafarge as an intern.
    My current research work focuses on computational mechanics related to contact problems. Computational contact mechanics emerged as an interdisciplinary area involving mechanics, mathematics, and computer science and physics. Various numerical methods are used to study the phenomena governed by the principles of contact mechanics. My work focuses on enhancing the capability of one of the available methods, namely, Isogeometric Analysis (IGA), to solve complex problems to save time and money.
    I am proficient at using MATLAB and the primary CAD tools like SolidWorks, CATIA, and AutoCAD. My key skills include Mechanical Systems & Design, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), Responsibility, Teamwork, and Observation.
    I love mechanical engineering and technology. Apart from that, I’m fond of music, playing, nature, and travelling. I love to read and talk about books, as they provide me with a stable source of companionship during alone time. I also love completing puzzles or pursuing other fun activities.
