He has guided fifteen Ph.D. students and around 100 M. Tech / M.E. students.

"The book delivers comprehensive knowledge in the subject of finishing and polishing processes. It covers not only fundamental work principles but also the process specific applications for basic and advanced finishing and polishing processes. State-of-the-art hybrid nanofinishing processes are the highlights of the book. It is an excellent book for UG and PG students and a unique handbook for industrial professionals."— Xichun Luo, University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom
