I am a PhD student in Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University in the Voorhees Research Group. In 2020, I graduated from Indian Institute of Technology Madras with a bachelors in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering and an interdisciplinary masters in Computational Engineering.

La Jolla, California. March 2023.

My research interests sit at the intersection of materials science, computational engineering and mathematics. I am currently working on understanding fracture in polycrystalline materials using phase-field models. Previously, I have used the phase field technique to model phase separation in superconducting qubits. You can read more about my research here.

During my time at Northwestern, I have served as an elected student representative in the Graduate Core Curriculum Review Committee and the faculty search student/postdoc committee. I conducted a workshop on using the open source tool Inkscape for making scientific illustrations through the student organization Materials Science Umbrella Society (MSUS), whose board I serve in. I am also a member of the curriculum team of NURPH, an outreach effort for high school students by the MSE department.

In my free time, I like tinkering with all sorts of digital tools. I also love music, books, languages and writing. I maintain a collection of some my favourite resources here.

I hope you find some food for thought in my corner of the internet. If you share some (or all!) of my interests, be sure to reach out!
