About Me

My name is Amit Sharma, I am 28 years old and was born in Khandoi, Uttar Pradesh, INDIA.
My father served in Indian Air Force, so did my schooling from various parts of India.
My Educational carrier is as follows:

1. High School in 2004.
2. Intermediate in 2006 from Science Stream.
3. Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from 2006-2010.
4. Master of Technology in Thermal Sciences from 2011-2013.

After completing my masters from NIT, Calicut in 2013, I joined as Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering Department of Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad, INDIA. Also, I am Faculty Advisor for SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), under this banner we are making student's formula racing car and participating in various national events. In our college, we have a department which is dedicated for research activities name as CORE (Centre Of Relevance and Excellence). AKGEC FABLAB is a part of this CORE initiative. In 2015, I was deputed in this department (CORE) as Scientific Officer to handle Industrial Robotic centre. Which is being stablished in collaboration with KUKA in 2011. I am a certified robot programmer and provide training on industrial robotic platforms. Currently I am Lab manager for AKGEC FABLAB. Joining the FabLab network inspired me and changed my life in many ways. I had the opportunity to participate in Fab Asia Network3 from 12th Jan to 18th Jan 2017, and with it, I could see the possibilities for innovation and social impact that digital fabrication and the Fab lab network can offer. Although I am leading a Fab Lab, I still do not feel fully as a "maker" because I am from mechancial background and didn't have enough exposure to other domains of engineering, which is also required to develop a product completely. Joining the Fab Academy enabled me to be more creative, innovative and especially more "maker" manager, allowing me inspire my team, the students of the college where I work, and all AKGEC community in their creations in AKGEC FabLab. In my free time, I like to explore places and I am very much fond of gymming, swimming, playing chess, football, and cricket. I am also a regional level football player.
