I am an experimentalist who works primarily in Soft Matter. As of now, I work as a Graduate Student (Jaeger Lab) at The University of Chicago. 
 

I have various interests within experimental physics ranging from soft matter to material science. For the past few years, I have been exploring the nuances of the Density of Modes in granular materials (for geohazard forecasting) at Squishlab @ Haverford and Daniels Lab @ NCSU.

​

I also spend time studying pure mathematics, where I focus on Graph Theory, Topology, and Knot Theory. I apply different combinatorial techniques to study Ramsey numbers, Alcuin numbers and other questions about graph planarity.
