I joined the SAI-Mat group as a third-year undergraduate student in the Bachelor of Science (Research) program at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). My major was in Materials Science and my fascination with computational techniques had led me to want to apply these techniques to explore and design materials. I did my Bachelor’s thesis project with the group and subsequently went on to pursue a Master’s in Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University, starting September 2025.

Being an ardent football enthusiast, passionately playing and following the sport, particularly a huge fan of FC Barcelona. In addition, I often love to read science fiction books, delving into the vast expanse of bizarreness.
