<h2>About Me</h2>
<hr class="section-rule" />
<p>I grew up in Nasik, Maharashtra, where my curiosity about how structures come to life started early through conversations with my civil engineer father. That interest led me to earn a Bachelor of Technology with Honors in civil engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. I then moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I completed my Master’s and am now pursuing a PhD in civil engineering and scientific computing at the University of Michigan.</p>
<p>My research focuses on making structures deployable and adaptable. I develop tools to simulate the kinematics and mechanics of reconfigurable, origami-inspired, thin-shelled, and bar-linked structures. I’ve published in the Journal of Fluids and Structures and presented at conferences such as ASCE EMI and ASME IMECE. Teaching as a Graduate Student Instructor for a course on adaptable and deployable structures has sharpened both my technical depth and my communication skills.</p>
<p>Outside the lab, I’m usually behind a camera shooting streets, landscapes, or the night sky. I’m into espresso, plants, and programming, especially scripting and automation. I stay active with running, workouts, badminton, hiking, and pickleball, and I like experimenting in the kitchen and occasionally jamming on the keyboard.</p>
<p>Oh and I am now looking for exciting full-time roles in the industry as a structural forensics/diagnostics engineer!</p>
