Biography
I am an easygoing, fun loving person at heart, born and brought up in a relatively new Indian city called Bhubaneswar in the eastern part of India, Orissa. My childhood was marked by my frequent change of schools owing to the numerous transfers of my father, being in the state administrative service. I switched as many as five schools before I was in 10th grade. During that time my mother was my biggest inspiration and she always motivated me towards success. I was exited by physics during my highschool and college years and that has been responsible for my initial inclination towards research in general.
Fours years of my undergrad life at IIT Kanpur were the most memorable and enjoyable days of my life. I was surrounded by such excellent people and I made a lot of great friends. It imbibed in me a particular way of living that gives me pleasure and am proud of. I also started to develop an interest towards microelectronics and technology during that period of time.
After graduating from IIT Kanpur, I was in the middle of the devil and the deep blue sea for a little while, before joining IIT Bombay for my Masters. I have really enjoyed the past one and a half years at IIT Bombay, where I have felt for the first time, the real thrill and excitement of research. It has left no doubt in my mind that research is the way to go for me. Currently I am pursuing my PhD at Purdue University in the area of spintronics on graphene and related 2-D materials. Ultimately, I wish to become an independent researcher and contribute to the field of micro/nano electronics.
