I am a final-year undergraduate student in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal. I am keen on exploring and engineering materials properties through computational methods. I have joined the SAI MATerials group as part of my B. Tech. thesis, and my research is on investigating potential cathode materials for Ca-ion batteries using computational techniques.

Beyond academics, I am a passionate percussionist, playing traditional Indian instruments namely Mridangam, Chende, and Maddale, which are integral to Carnatic music and Yakshagana respectively. I also have a deep interest in studying Shastras (Indian Scriptures) and Sahitya (Literature), which shape my creative and intellectual pursuits.
