Ph.D., Civil Engineering, Purdue University (2022 - Present)
MS, Civil Engineering, Purdue University (2019 - 2021)
B.Tech, Civil Engineering, Shiv Nadar University (2013 - 2017)
My path in engineering began at Shiv Nadar University, India where I developed a foundational fascination with water. This journey eventually led me to the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue, where I have transitioned from understanding broad hydraulic principles to investigating the "unseen" elements of our water systems.
My current research sits at the edge of hydrogeology and molecular biology. Specifically, I specialize in the transport and modeling of environmental DNA (eDNA). By utilizing eDNA as a biological tracer, my work aims to improve how we monitor biodiversity and detect invasive, rare and endangered species in complex aquatic environments.
Whether I am debugging complex MATLAB code for a simulation or analyzing the way chemicals and biological materials interact with the sediment bed, my goal is to bridge the gap between theoretical fluid mechanics and practical environmental management.
