I am a Postdoctoral Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am also affiliated with the Michigan Institute for Data Science and AI in Society (MIDAS). Between 2024-2025 I was a Hill Assistant Professor (postdoc) at the Department of Mathematics at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. My mentor is Prof. Ian Tobasco. Broadly, my interests lie in the intersection of the Calculus of Variations and Elasticity theory.
I finished my Ph.D. at the Centre for Applied Mathematics, Cornell University in 2024 under the supervision of Prof. Tim Healey.
Before starting at Cornell in 2018, I received my Bachelors in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.
