About Me

I am a fifth year Ph.D. candidate at the Centre for Applied Mathematics, Cornell University. My advisor is Prof. Tim Healey. Broadly, my interests are in the Calculus of Variations and nonlinear PDEs with applications to physics. More specifically, the class of problems I am currently working on are derived from the field of nonlinear elasticity.

Before starting at Cornell in 2018, I received my Bachelors in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

Feb 1-Apr 1, 2023: I am participating in the Trimester Programme on Complex Materials at the Hausdorff Institute for Mathematics, University of Bonn, Germany.
