I was born in the coastal city of Mangaluru, located in the Dakshin Kannada district of Karnataka, India in 1989. My family moved to Bengaluru in 1990, where I grew up till we shifted to New Delhi in 1995. We moved back to Bengaluru in 1999, and I lived there till moving to the beautiful campus of Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai in 2012. Having completed my MS (by Research) and Ph.D. at IIT Madras in December 2018, I moved to College Station, Texas, USA as a Post Doctoral Researcher at Texas A&M University in January 2019. In July 2020, I moved to the serene campus of BITS-Pilani Hyderabad Campus, Telangana, India. Since June 2023, I am living in the cool city of Dharwad in Karnataka, India.
My hobbies include reading novels (various genres), biographies of (mainly) mathematicians and special numbers, doing maths, trekking, riding my bike, watching football (I follow Manchester United :) ), watching movies and T.V. series. I also love listening to songs of various genres during my spare time. And I absolutely love cooking and experimenting with food!
