Experience
Mr. M.Chithirai Pon Selvan completed his Bachelors in Production Engineering in 1996 from Adhiyamaan College of Engineering, Hosur, affiliated to the University of Madras. He had his Masters in Computer Aided Design in 2004 from Anna University; Chennai. Currently he is pursuing his PhD in the area of Abrasive Waterjet Cutting Processes.
 
He has one and half years industrial experience and more than thirteen years of teaching experience. Over the years, he has taught various subjects in the field of Mechanical Engineering.  He has guided many students in their project work.
 
He has attended many national and international conferences, workshops, faculty development programs, seminars etc. He has published ten research papers in international journals and has presented papers in many conferences in India, Thailand and Malaysia. His paper titled, “Assessment of Process Parameters in Abrasive Waterjet Cutting of Granite” was adjudged the best paper in the International Conference on “Trends in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering" (ICTMIE'2011) held on 23rd – 24th December 2011 at Bangkok, Thailand. He is the editor for CLEAR International Journal of Research in Science & Technology (CLEARIJRST) and reviewer for many international journals. He is also a life member of Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE), an organization for promoting the quality and standards in technical education.
 
He resigned from Toc H Institute of Science & Technology, Kerala where he worked as Assistant Professor - Mechanical Engineering and joined in Manipal University, Dubai in 2008 when the engineering program was first launched that year.
