  • Brief of PhD
  • PhD in Architecture, Birla Institute of Technology Mesra, December 2025
  • Thesis: An Intervention Framework for Circular Economy in the Construction Industry in India
  • The research focused on developing a framework for integrating circular economy strategies into construction practices, with particular emphasis on stage-wise interventions across the building lifecycle in India, including the pre-design, design, manufacturing, construction, operation, and end-of-life phases. During my PhD, I published five papers in peer-reviewed journals (two in Q1 and three in Q2 non-paid, Scopus-indexed journals), presented three papers at international conferences, and authored two book chapters. I was also awarded a sponsored research grant from the Ministry of Coal, Government of India (as Co-PI).
