VISION In my vision, an integrated leadership is required to raise the level of organization so that its every employee feels proud to work tirelessly for sustainable development. This can only be achieved by adopting multi-pronged approach: innovations for poorest of poor, science for industrial economics, and inventions in cutting edge technologies to remain sustainable in India as well as in abroad. As per my understanding, investment on human resource in the government institutions is huge and there is a need to find competitive advantage of this investment. Self sustainability of government institutions, an ambitious target, is the foremost requirement to streamline the human resource. It is easier to change duties/tasks given to employees compared to changing employees, therefore the focus must be to identify rising stars and gauge their leadership, so that they act like eyes, ears and hands of organization. Apart from placing the best employees in strategic positions, there is need to place average performers in support positions and establish a rigorous disciplined but respectful process for dealing with low performing staff. All this is possible only by continuously interacting with human resources. In other words, my vision is to inspire, motivate, encourage and facilitate the students, scientific as well as administrative staff to become capable to plan, conceive, design and realize systems that fulfils the need of Indian society and thus serves this great nation and be an asset to the whole world and be revered for his/her innovativeness, intelligence and service to the mankind. To achieve this goal, on one hand choosing "right people in the right role" is required and on other hand “indigenization” and “overall economics” suited to Indian Societal conditions shall be emphasized so that innovative tailor made products as well as process for Indian masses can be provided. A mission to give impetus to develop technologies for societal benefit to help ease the daily lives of the common India is a must. I am sure that if young minds are appropriately guided and motivated, our India can be transferred into a prosperous, self-reliant and developed nation. In my opinion, there is need to have continuous dialogue with important stakeholders and line ministries to market the science and technology invented at government intuitions. Often these technologies do not culminate into economic, user friendly, high-quality solutions, therefore a paradigm shift in attitude and action of scientists is the need of the hour to match with the dynamic highly competitive industry thriving on innovative solutions. There is a need to spread science awareness and use science of management economics to help farmers and small scale industries. In other words, there is exigency to build an incubator consisting of a network of laboratory facilities and resources spread across various institutions of the country so that enthusiast learner and innovator can participate. This could be used as a sanctuary by pro-social and altruistic job-seekers, temporarily employed learners in informal (agricultural and MSME) sectors that can easily access the required resources without the fear of failures, as analysis of failure is also a stepping stone to success. The incubator will facilitate the problem obviation for Indian masses and/or disadvantageous people and will go a long way in generating feasible solutions (that are indigenous and cost effective) to the societal, technological and environmental issues confronting the nation.

PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS

Director, CSIR-CMERII am currently the Director of CSIR-Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute, Durgapur. I assumed the office w.e.f. 16th March 2016 after taking lien from IIT Delhi. As the Director and leader of CSIR-CMERI, I improved manufacturing and research facilities at CSIR-CMERI to promote imaginative ideas to reality and give the necessary scientific & technical support to the budding entrepreneurs. I am able to motivate CSIR-CMERI team to work tirelessly aiming fulfilment of national developmental goals and achieve respectable position in the field of relevant Research and Development. For this purpose, decisions are being taken to place appropriate Human resources at right places/departments. The extension centre of the Institute located at Ludhiana (CSIR-CMERI-CoEFM Ludhiana) has also been taken on board in this regard and appropriate resources have been deployed to achieve the important Institutional goals. The results of the efforts undertaken by the Scientists and staff members have been fruitful. Now as per SCImago institution ranking CSIR-CMERI is number 58 in India compared to earlier where its ranking was in the range of 84 to 100. In addition, CSIR-CMERI 'External Cash Flow (ECF)' per year has crossed 18 Crore which is almost three times compared to ECF in 2015-16. In the year 2019-20 we could earn more than 2.5 Crore from fee of technology transferred to MSME units.

Vice Chairman of JEE AdvancedI was Vice Chairmanof JEE Advanced (Joint Entrance Examination for admission in IITs) during 2014-16. It was certainly a new learning experience, and provided me an opportunity to work with good team and observe such intricately detailed well organized examination system and to be a part of it.

Editor of Indian Journal of Tribology (IJT)This Journal is published semi-annually under the aegis of the Tribology Society of India (TSI). I enjoyed my stint as the Editor of Indian Journal of Tribology and encouraged authors to submit quality research papers to propagate their research work. I successfully performed the role of a Journal Editor, by editing and scrutinizing journal papers, selecting appropriate experts for review and provide a hand holding process to both authors and reviewers up till the publication of the semi-annual issue. This exposed me to the state of research activities in the various parts of the country and other places in the world.

Vice-Chairman of Delhi Chapter of Tribology Society of India (TSI): I was the Vice-Chairman of Delhi Chapter of TSI, where I was instrumental in increasing its membership base. The TSI became actively involved in spreading awareness about Tribology. The Tribology Society of India (TSI) gave me the responsibility as a Member of Executive Committee (EC) for a period of Six years from 2006 to 2012. I organized Tribo-India Conference in December 2009 on Tribology of Automotive Systems. Many good quality research papers were presented by academia and industry personnel and the proceeding was also published.

Faculty In-charge (Computer Aided Graphics Laboratory)During my tenure as the Faculty In-charge of Computer Aided Graphics Laboratory, the operational capacity was increased from 30 to 100 PCs. Funds were arranged for adoption of better technology. The 3D printing was introduced as automation tool to first year students to realize their ideas into the physical form. The staff was motivated to safe guard the precious possessions and was trained to handle the extra workload.

Secretary of the Faculty Forum, IIT DelhiThe post of Secretary, Faculty Forum, is generally considered a post that is in opposition to the administrative policies. However, when I took up this post, I created an atmosphere of collective wisdom between the faculty and administration and minimized the animosity between the two. I mediated and communicated the concerns of faculty to the administration. I brought about much needed clarification and communication to achieve the institutes' collective goals.

BOOK ON TRIBOLOGY

I have been successful in completing my Book on "Fundamentals of Engineering Tribology with Applications". Just completing this book has taught me a lot such as looking into minutest details and being my own worst critic by answering FAQs and generating multiple choice questions. Revisiting fundamentals and amalgamating it with my experience gained through the various consultancies and sponsored projects have left me with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the subject. I have realized that a Book is a medium to communicate with like-minded people who are viewing my perspective on a particular subject and it is most effective when it becomes user friendly and application based so I have included program coding at end of every section of my book.

The book is on “Tribology”, which is related to friction, wear and lubrication of machine elements. Tribology not only deals with the design of fluid containment systems like seals and gasket but also with the lubrication of surfaces in relative motion. It helps in better understanding of design and maintenance of machine elements such as bearings, gears, cam-followers, hard disk drives, seals, pumps, compressors, etc. To calculate the load support by bearings, there is a need to study their structure and the nature of fluid flow.

The book presents detailed explanation on theories and applications of hydrodynamic thrust bearing, gas (air) lubricated bearing and elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication. It elucidates the concepts related to friction including coefficient of friction, friction instability and stick-slip motion. It clarifies the delusion that harder and cleaner surfaces produce better results in wear. Recent developments including Online Condition Monitoring (an integration of moisture sensor, wear debris and oil quality sensors) and Multigrid Technique are discussed in detail. It also provides design problems and their real life applications for cams, followers, gears and bearings. MATLAB programs, frequently asked and multiple choice questions are interspersed throughout the book for easy understanding of the topics.

Chapter on Friction and Wear of Sliding Bearings in ASM Handbook, Volume 18: Friction, Lubrication, and Wear Technology

Bearings are usually provided where a specific spatial relationship (alignment) must be maintained between the parts or where a force is to be transmitted from one part to the other. This article introduces the general types and configuration of sliding bearings, bearing materials, and the practical aspects and solutions in the friction, lubrication, and wear mitigation of sliding bearings. The lubrication of bearings includes thick-film lubrication, thin-film lubrication, and boundary lubrication. The article concludes with a discussion on the effects of material elasticity on the lubrication of bearings.
