About me
I am a Prime Minister's Research Fellow in Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science Department at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. I graduated with a B.Tech degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from National Institute of Technology Trichy (NITT) in 2019. My research interest includes the development of materials ceramic materials for high temperature applications and thermal barrier coatings. My doctoral research is on 'Development of multicomponent stabilized zirconia thermal barrier materials for ultra high temperature'.
I hail from Chennai and I enjoy watching test cricket and playing the sport. I have a liking towards dramatics. I was a part of the Inter IIT cultural meet contingent 5.0 where our team bagged 2nd place in the mime competition. My inquisitiveness has driven me towards quizzing and our team has won the IITB general Quiz General championship two years in a row. I am passionate about cooking and I like to bring in ideas from different cuisines to typical Indian dishes. Probably some traits that I got from PhD
