Welcome to this website! It is a simple attempt to keep a track of my academic and professional journey with the latest possible updates.
Born in 1998 in India, I earned a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore in the year 2020. I wrote my Bachelor thesis in experimental condensed matter physics with focus on crystallization and vitrification kinetics of phase change materials in Prof. Matthias Wuttig's lab at RWTH Aachen University in Germany in the year 2019. Following this, I had worked as a software engineer for nearly 2 years at Tata Digital.
I then went on to earn a Master of Science (MS) in Semiconductor Materials & Devices Engineering from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in the year 2024. As part of my last semester internship, I had worked at CEA-Leti in Grenoble, France. The focus of my MS research was computational modelling of phase change memory devices but a significant part of it was also dedicated towards developing a bridge between signals-systems and electronic band structure theory. Equipped with core semiconductor foundation and software engineering skills, I then embarked on an exciting career journey which has, so far, led me to work with Micron Technology and Tata Electronics.
The main motivation throughout my research has been to develop a deeper understanding of devices for neuromorphic computing- precisely, analog in-memory computing. In order to circumvent the von Neumann bottleneck, I always try to adopt a materials-device-algorithm co-design approach. This journey has so far taken me from India to Germany to South Korea to France and, most recently, to Taiwan. Besides geographical coverage, I have also had the honor of contributing little bit to the understanding of the metavalent bond (MVB)- crucial to understanding chalcogenides.
Covering an exciting spectrum ranging from software and electrical engineering to materials science to functioning of the brain, I am always up for new and challenging problems in the domain of neuromorphic computing and emerging memories.
