Having visited many historical places where the architecture of even the most damaged structures managed to entice my curiosity to understand them better. With that innate feeling of responsibility towards nature and the best utilization of construction techniques, I decided to pursue a Master’s in Civil Engineering, with a major in Construction Engineering and Management. My passion lies in amalgamating civil engineering with acceptable management practices. I aim to apply tenets of civil engineering to design, develop, and manage the making of more efficient, environmentally sound buildings.
