About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Iowa State University, working at the intersection of machine learning, materials science, and self-driving laboratories. My research focuses on developing data-efficient methods to accelerate materials discovery and process optimization. More broadly, I am passionate about combining machine learning, robotics, and optimization to build autonomous scientific systems.

Previously, I completed my Master’s at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, where I worked on energetic materials and developed experimental setups from scratch for rocket and ramjet test firing

Outside of research, I am an avid follower of cricket and enjoy reading books, especially those exploring history, culture, and human psychology.
