  • I received my Ph.D. from Texas A&M University, College Station, in 2021 and my B. Tech and M. Tech in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Madras. I worked as a Scientist at W.L. Gore & Associates, Elkton (2022-2024) and as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Houston (2021-2022) before joining IIT Madras. For a brief period between my Bachelors and Masters, I worked as a Designer at Caterpillar India Private Limited, Chennai (2012-2014).
