I am a junior studying Engineering Physics and Statistics with a minor in Mathematics. I’ve been involved in Indian classical music for a long time and music as a whole remains one of my biggest passions. I love learning different styles of music, including listening to music in various languages, and learning how to play different instruments. I’ve also always been an avid reader, so in my (limited) free time, I love to read many genres, from science fiction to research articles to different types of novels. I also love to write stories and poems whenever I can. I’m largely involved in research, so I love reading papers (especially related to environmental sustainability and clean energy) and learning new ideas/gaining new perspectives.

Hello! I’m a cat dad that can’t cat daddy, but that won’t stop me from trying. I’m passionate about issues related to the environment, engineering ethics, and emerging technology. Basketball is my sport of choice, but I’ll smack the ping pong ball around if a worthy challenger arises.
