I joined the group in 2021 after completing my master's in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University where I was co-advised by Dr. Bhattacharyya on my masters project which was on the optimization electrochemical Carbon dioxide utilization. In my free time I like playing and listening to instrumental music, hiking and watching old films.
