I am a joint PhD research scholar from the collaboration of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai (IITB), India and Monash University, Australia. I obtained my Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering and Master of Technology in Thermal Engineering in India. As a part of my PhD thesis, I started working on droplet-based microfluidics at the Interfacial flows lab in IITB, Mumbai, under the guidance of Prof. Rajneesh Bhardwaj. I moved to Monash in August 2019, seeking to further expand the integration of pneumatic valves in droplet microfluidic applications. My expertise include droplet-based microfluidics, microfabrication and single-layer pneumatic microfluidic valves.

My area of interest is focused on how droplet interacts with multiple junctions. Specifically, I am looking at the transition region between droplet breakup and no droplet breakup when a droplet interacts with a junction. Aided by single-layer microvalves, I seek to break the droplet at multiple locations selectively.
​
In my spare time, I love to play cricket and follow cricket with immense interest. I am an avid trekker and love to go on trekking whenever possible. I am also interested in food and currently experimenting on it.
