Hello! I am Jaya, a postdoctoral scientist with Ania Jayich at University of California Santa Barbara. Prior to that, I was a graduate researcher in Qulab at Yale University, where I defended my PhD with Michel Devoret in 2023. My research interests lie in understanding driven quantum and classical systems and further harnessing them to engineer novel applications.

Outside of Physics, I enjoy running, meditating, and spending time exploring nature. I am also trained in Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam and enjoy dabbling with these art forms.
