He started his career from 2002 as a Teaching Research Associate in Madras Institute of Technology, Chennai, to satisfy his passion for teaching and research and then he joined National Institute of Technology (NIT)-Trichy as an Assistant Professor from 2006. Besides having a strong technical expertise and analytical skills, he acquired his Ph.D degree from Anna University, Chennai, in 2008. Before he was posted as Associated in Indian School of Mines, Dr.L.A.Kumaraswamidhas served as an Assistant Professor at National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu during 2006-2012. In addition to teaching at engineering colleges, he had also worked as an administrator/coordinator for student associations and laboratories. By virtue of working for a considerable number of years in the academic arena, he reached the position of the Mining-Machinery Coordinator at Indian School of Mines. During his stint as MME Coordinator, Dr.L.A.Kumaraswamidhas became known for his contribution of value-creation and value-addition to various sectors such as overall administration, academic affairs, education and research of the University. He was reputed for the timely conduct of examinations in University Departments and always ensured prompt release of results. As an active researcher, Dr.L.A.Kumaraswamidhas is associated with many foreign Universities, along with that he is an Editorial Board Member of 5 Reputed Journals and also a reviewer of 8 International journal. Consecutively he has contributed to the areas of Automobiles, Vibration, Tribology, Engineering Design and Computational Fluid Dynamics with his 90 research publications. As a research guide, Dr.L.A.Kumaraswamidhas produced 2 Ph.D`s and 15 M.S. scholars in various fields. At present, 12 research scholars are pursuing their Ph.D. under his direct supervision. A technical and education management expert, Dr.L.A.Kumaraswamidhas, believes that Science, Engineering and Technology are advancing at a fast pace and obsolescence of physical infrastructure, skills and competence takes place rapidly. He is keen on taking steps to improve the existing infrastructure, investment and intellectual strength wherever they exist and network them so as to utilize them effectively and optimally for meeting the changing needs. Not only does he profess the values of Indian culture but also does he practice many of the fundamental principles of humanity and society. While dedicating himself to the cause of creating a world class infrastructure, he has also undertaken many community services in various parts of India out of his quest to contribute more to society. Currently, Dr.L.A.Kumaraswamidhas is the Associate Professor and Coordinator of Mining Machinery Department of the internationally leading and highly advanced technical University – Indian School of Mines University, and he is known for his virtues as a wise mentor, friendly teacher, innovative administrator, and visionary leader.
