I am a VICO Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Virginia, working with Ilse Cleeves to better understand how stars and planets form. My recent research focuses on the interactions between planet-forming disks and their environments.

I did my bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering at IIITDM Jabalpur, India. However, the things I studied there lacked a certain gravity to me (pun intended) and I discovered my love for astronomy. This journey took me through a couple of internships at ARIES, India, master's at NCU, Taiwan , summer internship at ASIAA, Taiwan, and recently, Ph.D. at European Southern Observatory (ESO).

Besides astronomy, I enjoy reading random books, cooking (mostly Indian food), hiking, swimming, pretending to play bansuri (bamboo flute), and exploring more of our beautiful planet.
