I joined the SAI-Mat group while I was a final year BS-MS (Bachelor of Science-Master of Science) Chemistry student at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune, to pursue my MS thesis project. My thesis was on the computational discovery of materials for beyond-Si photovoltaic applications. I hope to contribute to the research in green energy with fundamental chemistry and computational techniques. After my time at the SAI-Mat group, I went on to pursue a PhD at the Université de Picardie Jules Verne, Amiens, France, with the group of Prof. Alejandro A. Franco, starting June 2025.

I play the Mridangam (an Indian percussion instrument) and I am an avid Carnatic classical music enthusiast.

During my time at the SAI-Mat group, I contributed to the following manuscript.
