About Me
I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and I am passionate about how chemistry and engineering interface at the interface of materials. Over the course of my undergrad and graduate school, I have strived to work and solve research problems that, eventually, will impact the society in a direct way. Having collaborated with companies such as Ford and BASF in the past, I appreciate how industry- university collaborations lead to quality research with a wider outreach. I am always looking for opportunities to work on multidisciplinary research problems. Apart from academics, I enjoy playing cricket and squash. I am also a trained portrait sketcher and love cooking.
