Avik Ghosh Dastidar

I am an academician, researcher, and educator with a strong interest in Physics, engineering, and emerging technologies. I am currently engaged in teaching, academic administration, and research, with particular emphasis on CMUTs, nonlinear dynamics, analytical modelling, and FEM-based simulation. I enjoy translating complex theoretical concepts into practical and understandable solutions, while also working on interdisciplinary areas such as electronics, robotics, Arduino, AI, and RF sensing. Alongside teaching and research, I actively contribute to academic development, institutional initiatives, and technology-driven projects, with a focus on continuous learning, innovation, and meaningful application of knowledge. Other than all academic and research activities, I am also the Compliance Officer of RERFGI.
