Education:
2011-2016: Integrated Masters (IMSc) in Physics, University of Hyderabad, India
2017-2018: Master of Science in Physics, WPI, USA
2017-Present: PhD in Physics, under supervision of Prof. Germano S. Iannacchione, WPI, USA
A five-year Integrated program from the University of Hyderabad gave me a broad perspective on interdisciplinary research. During this program, I got exposure to all the components of basic sciences such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics in the first two years and three years specialization in Physics. I have been appointed as a Teaching Assistant (TA) since January 2017 in the Department of Physics. My research interest broadly lies in exploring the aspects of biological (soft) systems that apply the approaches and methods of simple fundamental laws of Physics. Besides my research, I actively participate in mentoring high school and undergraduate students.
