His teaching philosophy revolves around facilitating students' understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of core engineering subjects. He emphasizes delivering course content using real-world examples to help students relate fundamental concepts of core subjects with state-of-the-art technology. In his teaching approach, he uses Python, JavaScript, and other web apps, thereby enabling students to better analyze real-world engineering problems.

He has taught various UG courses like Digital Electronics, Electromagnetic Field Theory, Microprocessors, Measurements, Analog Electronics Circuits, Digital Communication, and Data Communication in Electronics and Communication Engineering and PG courses like Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Internet of Things, Advanced Computer Networks and Communication, Research Methodology in Computer Science and Engineering. He has delivered short courses on Python, LaTeX, Inkscape, Docker, Git and GitHub, and Nix for M.Tech. researcher scholars.

He received a fellowship from the Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD) during his M.Tech. at Harcourt Butler Technological Institute (HBTI), Kanpur. He has received fellowships from the University Grants Commission (UGC), during his Ph.D. at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad (MNNIT).

He has published in reputed journals and transactions on topics like Optical Orthogonal Codes of OCDMA, Interleaver design for IDMA, WBAN, WSN routing and localization, and IoT. He has presented his work at various International Conferences and contributed to various Book Chapters. Currently, he is exploring applications of deep learning in WSN Localization, Brain Wave Mapping, and Biomedical, IoT in agriculture and Digital Twin.
