Hi there!

I graduated from Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira and right now I'm an int. PhD student at IISER Thiruvananthapuram. Essentially this means that I get to be associated with any lab during my MS, complete a major project in a lab of my choice and subsequently continue with my PhD there. Where's the fun? well, besides the exciting science int. PhD students obtain a fellowship starting from masters and continues to his/her PhD (details here)

I'm passionate about science since my undergrad years. Studying basic science is like a marathon and not a sprint and to check if I could handle it, I underwent a litmus test. Even today I'm super grateful to the prof. who took me in and guided me for almost 3 months! I learnt a ton of stuff and most importantly, it dawned on me that science is exactly the sort of work I intend to pursue.

I almost forgot, I'm a fromula one fan although I have never driven a car 😂. I love mountains and recently joined a trekking team enroute to the Talung Glacier, north of Goecha La. I also love to swim, play badminton, watch movies and occassionaly play video games when bored!
