I come from a small town in northern India, and I completed PhD in Physics with focus on Optical Imaging in India. My curiosity about its biomedical applications and to explore other part of world brought me to NYU. Living in New York City feels familiar to me, the energy and crowds across the city remind me of home 😀, unlike many other places I’ve visited in the US. Apart from other hobbies, I also like to hike 🚶which allows me to relax and spend time in nature. 

I recently co-organized a three-session yoga series through the PDA Council Community Fund, which saw tremendous participation, with all sessions filled to capacity. Building on this success, I would like to propose establishing a regular yoga club🧘. In addition, as a parent myself, I understand the unique challenges faced by postdoc parents and would like to help creat more supportive environment for them. I represented my department in a traning and placement cell during my PhD. With that experience, I would also like to contribute in career development activities for postdocs.
