What I Do
I am a Prime Minister's Research Fellow doing my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) working towards making infrastructure safer for all of us.
BIO
I’ve had a passion for science and research since I was a child, and my desire to work in the field of research finally became a reality when I got into IIT Kanpur as a Ph.D. student immediately after completing my B.Tech. in Civil Engineering from NIT Silchar in 2020. I was selected as a Prime Minister's Research Fellow in 2022. I enjoy delving into new fields of research and following the results of my work into the uncharted scientific territory.
