About Me
I am an experimentalist currently pursuing a PhD at the Polymers for Advanced and Sustainable Manufacturing Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, India.
My research lies in the field of electronic packaging, where I am focused on understanding the structure-property relationships in epoxy blends. These materials are critical in a variety of semiconductor applications, and my goal is to develop materials with excellent adhesion to copper, along with thermal, thermomechanical, and dielectric properties that make them ideal for use in build-up films for electronic systems and high-density interconnect substrates. At the PolyASM lab, most of my work involves thermal analysis and spectroscopy.
Before my PhD, I worked in biomaterials, where I explored novel applications such as using hollow fiber membranes for hemodialysis systems at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India, and investigating DNA encapsulation in lipid vesicles toward artificial cells at Institut Charles Sadron, Strasbourg, France. This diverse background has enriched my understanding of material science and guided my current focus on electronic packaging.
Outside of research, I’m passionate about cycling, gardening, cooking, and doodling, and I’m just starting to explore astrophotography. If you’re interested in discussing my work, talking about research in general, or if you share any of these hobbies, feel free to reach out—I love connecting with others and exchanging ideas!
