Biography
From the ghats to the lab bench, my journey is fueled by curiosity, discovery, and the joy of turning questions into answers. Born in the timeless city of Varanasi. My academic adventures took me from the vibrant halls of Delhi University to the scenic campus of IIT Guwahati for my master’s. I then dove into research as a project assistant at JNCASR, Bangalore, before setting sail for IIT Madras in 2021 to pursue my PhD.
