Starting Fall 2011, I have begun my physics graduate school at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC). In August 2008, I completed my 3-year bachelor's degree (with Honours) in physics from Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI),India. In between the above two time periods I was a research scholar/graduate student/masters student at the Department of Theoretical Physics (DTP) at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR),India. My academic and non-academic pursuits are detailed on my home-page.
