About Me

I am currently a research associate at the Applied Physics Department of the Indian Institute of Science. I am curious about exploring the resultant between distinct fundamental principles to engineer multifunctional and sustainable devices using novel materials as the binding medium. Whether it is phase transformations in materials to build actuators, utilizing electromagnetism to harvest energy, or exploring light-matter interactions to design sensors, my work so far has consistently been an attempt to navigate this very interest in seamlessly bridging functional materials.
