1) Tanmay Rath holds a Ph.D. in polymer chemistry from IIT Kharagpur, with post doctoral experience in nanomaterials research in eastern Asia.

In (1) above, does the underlined part tell us what the project is about?

...he has been engaged in a project which is about teaching chemistry to undergraduate engineering students...


Or, is it something like the following:

...he has been engaged in a project while/by teaching chemistry to undergraduate engineering students...


If none of the above is correct, how would you understand the underlined part in (1)?
