Welcome! I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Energy Conversion Group, led by Dr. Adam Weber, at Berkeley Lab. I completed my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Purdue, advised by Prof. Partha Mukherjee. My doctoral research focused on understanding coupled chemo-mechanical phenomena that govern interface stability, degradation modes, and cell performance in next-generation alkali metal batteries.
Previously, I obtained my BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, India. My Master's thesis focused on modeling multiphase flows through microfluidic constricted channels and received the Man Mohan Suri Project Award.
Outside my research, I have been actively engaged in scientific outreach and engagement activities. I served as the President of the ECS Purdue Student Chapter and was involved in various sustainability initiatives on campus. Apart from academic and extracurricular pursuits, I enjoy running and reading about tech, entrepreneurship, and philosophy (blog coming soon!).
