Bio

Dr. S.Shankar a well-known academician, researcher and trainer has been involved into teaching various engineering subjects in Mechanical Engineering domain in reputed engineering colleges in Tamilnadu and in Karnataka as well as deeply involved into various research activities. Presently he is a Professor and Head (R & D) in Mechanical Engineering at Cambridge Institute of Technology, Bengaluru.

Dr.S.Shankar obtained his B.E degree in Mechanical Engineering in the year 1985, Masters, M.E degree in Production Engineering in the year 1990 and MBA in Marketing Management in the year 1996. Later on, he pursued his PhD in Materials Technology (Composite Materials) and obtained Doctoral degree in the year 2015. He has rich academic experience over 34+ years and administrative experience for about 15 years in various capacities.

He has been actively involved into research activities, funded projects for over 5+ years and as students’ project coordinator for about 20 years guiding UG, PG and PhD scholars.

He is a Council Member of NAFEMS India operation and also an active member of NAFEMS India Composite Advisory Group, an International Non-Profit organisation, spearheading the development and effective utilisation of composite materials for various engineering applications. He has conducted many National and International conferences as well as webinars on specific engineering and technological domains and has many publications in National and International journals to his credit. He is widely regarded as a students’ counsellor motivating, inspiring, stimulating and fine-tuning the potential and mind-set of young minds for career prospects. Also, he is the president of the recently constituted CiTech-IIC of MHRD of our college.
