I'm originally from South India (which encompasses 5 Indian states all rich in culture and DELICIOUS food), from a beautiful state called Tamil Nadu (தமிழ்நாடு). Before starting my PhD at Trinity, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Physics from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, where I worked on Solar and Interstellar plasma under the supervision of Dr. Bharat Kishore Sharma. Following this, I obtained my Master's degree in Astrophysics from University College London (UCL), working on the non-axisymmetric bar of the Milky Way Galaxy and the Nuclear Disc under Dr. Ralph Schoenrich.

Apart from academics, I LOVE watching anime, with Naruto being my all-time favourite. I'm also a HUGE cricket fan, enjoy everything related to Star Wars, and spend most of my free time reading and re-reading different renditions/interpretations of the Mahabharata. All in all, you'll usually find me nestled comfortably in a corner, book in hand and a stash of snacks within reach.

Water is the consummate immigrant,
trapped in transit,
never able to settle.
