About

After majoring in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune, I joined the Physics PhD program at the University of Texas at Austin in Fall 2023. I’m fascinated by High Energy Physics, namely in areas such as The General Theory of Relativity, Quantum gravity, Cosmology, and Quantum Field theory. Topology is something that intrigues me in Mathematics.
