Motivation:
As a child, gazing out over the cliff to the Bay of Bengal in the coastal city of Vizag, I was fascinated by how such vast bodies of water were a dominant part of our ecosystem. This upsurged my interest in Science and kindled a young enthusiast in me, sparking curiosity that only expanded in years to come. I developed a keen interest in keeping track of the technological advancements made in the field of Fluids and Thermodynamics during my under graduation. The news of the use of modern technologies at a large scale to understand the mechanical part of our world used to intrigue and inspire me. During my undergraduate days, I was part of a technical club in our university which was solely focused on constructing remote-controlled Micro Class planes and participating in various national and international competitions. This exposure provided me with a stalwart foundation and an extensive experience in Fluid Dynamics, especially in CFD, along with Programming tools like Python and R. After successfully clearing the highly competitive GATE Examination, which tests the comprehensive understanding of various subjects at the under-graduation level; I secured 99.62 percentile in GATE-2021 in Mechanical Engineering and was admitted as a Graduate Research Student at the Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (CAOS) in the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). During my coursework, I took up subjects that included Geophysical Fluid Dynamics and Ocean Dynamics, which motivated me to research large-scale ocean circulation.
