He is currently a working faculty member with the Department of Statistics and Operations Research, Aligarh Muslim University. He received the Post Graduate Merit Scholarship Award during his M.Sc. (statistics) and the UGC-BSR Scholarship award during his Ph.D. (statistics) program. His research interests include applied statistics, survey sampling, reliability theory, supply chain networks and management, mathematical programming, Fuzzy optimization, and multiobjective optimization. He has supervised M.Sc., M.Phil., and Ph.D. students in operations research. He has completed a research project UGC–Start-Up Grant Project, UGC, New Delhi, India. He has published more than 100 research articles in SCI/SCIE and other reputed journals and serves as a Reviewer for several journals. He has published some edited books for Taylor France and Springer Nature publishers, and some are in the process of publication. He has currently published one textbook “Optimization-with-LINGO-18-Problems-and-Applications”. This book is helpful for academicians, practitioners, students, and researchers in the field of OR. He is a Lifetime Member of various professional societies: Operational Research Society of India, Indian Society for Probability and Statistics, Indian Mathematical Society, and The Indian Science Congress Association.
