Ph.D. candidate in Computational Modeling and Simulation Program, Chemical Engineering
University of Pittsburgh

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in the Chemical Engineering department at the University of Pittsburgh, working under the mentorship of Dr. Karl Johnson. My research focuses on Computational Modeling and Simulation, where I tackle engineering challenges by developing tools that integrate quantum mechanics and machine learning. Prior to this, I earned my MS degree in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and obtained a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from R.V. College of Engineering, Bangalore. Beyond academia, I enjoy playing both board games and video games. Occasionally, I also find myself bouldering, hiking, and woodworking.
