Hi! I'm Siddharth.
Polymer scientist, plant dad.
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 is in the domain of electronic packaging and focuses on understanding the structure-property relations in epoxy blends, a type of material that is used in semiconductor assemblies. In our group, we work with the motivation of creating a material that has excellent adhesion to copper along with other thermal, thermomechanical and dielectric properties that would make it ideal for use in build-up films for electronic systems and high density interconnect substrates.
I have previously worked in the area of biomaterials, using hollow fibre membranes as an alternative to commercial hemodialysis systems at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India, and trapping DNA in lipid vesicles as a stepping stone towards artificial cells at Institut Charles Sadron, Strasbourg, France.
Outside of my research, I enjoy cycling, gardening, cooking, and doodling, and I am just getting into astrophotography. Also a big fan of cats! Please feel free to reach out to me if you want to talk about my research or any of my hobbies and share some ideas!
