Personal Research Statement
Discrete in the quantum, Continuous in macroscopic. I'm constantly fascinated with the way atomic properties transcend scales. I seek to understand the multi-scale hierarchal nature of properties. At the core of it, I'm a material scientist, interested in structure-property correlation. My special interest is using defects and disorder to harness material properties. My areas of focus is thermal and magnetic properties. I am passionate about exploring new material characterization methods and uncovering the stories atoms have to tell.

Over the years I've dabbled in quite a few fields but with a painstaking clarity, I've come back to science. This journey took me on quite a rollercoaster studying engineering, getting into a leadership position at a rather young age in a manufacturing unit, studying policy but I've finally arrived at an intersection of the Venn diagram where I want to live and explore.
On the artistic end, I'm a Bharatanatyam dancer and a food geek. Other causes I'm an active vocal proponent of are Animal Rights and creating inclusive spaces in STEM fields. I'm also the president of SADHANA, the Indian classical club on Dartmouth Campus, and I love organizing events and practice sessions for fellow artists.
