I was born in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, and completed my B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering with first-class honors from Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Rohilkhand University in 2014. In 2015, I joined IIT Delhi as a master’s student in Applied Mechanics, where I worked with Prof. Sitikantha Roy on finite element simulations of neurosurgical procedures. Afterward, I served as a Project Scientist in Dr. Naresh Datla’s group at IIT Delhi, developing a low-cost prostate phantom for training in trans-rectal ultrasound-guided biopsies. Since July 2019, I have been pursuing my Ph.D. under Prof. Roy, focusing on the in-vitro mechanical characterization of human brain tissues, integrating experimental biomechanics with computational modeling.
