I am a sixth-year PhD student in the group of Prof. Brian Skinner. My research interests lie in theoretical condensed matter physics, particularly in the transport properties of topological materials. I got my Bachelors' and Masters degrees in physics from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Along with scientific research in theoretical physics, I am also passionate about broadening participation in science academia; and teaching and science education.
