I am a graduate student in Bioengineering at Caltech, in the Shapiro lab. Previously, I worked as a research technician at Janelia Research Campus for a couple of years, completed my Master's in Molecular Biology in Göttingen and my Bachelor's in Chemistry from IIT Bombay. 'A tool developer' is what describes me best - in the dry lab, I was mining trans-eQTLs from human transcriptome datasets in the pre-AI era. In the wet lab, I have been engineering proteins to aid new fundamental discoveries in biology/neuroscience, which may decide the human trajectory in the post-AI era. Reach out to hear more if interested, currently pondering on ways to give back the universe something uniquely useful!
My happiest days are spent thinking, reading and thinking more about everything that is living and the spectacular ways in which life manifests itself all around us. It suffices to say that I am in awe of the living!
