Bio/Description

I am a sixth-year graduate student in the Neuroscience program where I study how an animal makes decisions. I earned my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics from the University of Hyderabad and an M.Eng. in Biomedical Engineering from Cornell University. I am an international student from a first-generation, low-income background. Hence, I know firsthand the experiences and challenges of starting a PhD in a new country. In my role as a graduate peer coach, my goal is to establish a safe space for you to share your challenges with me. Together, we will devise effective strategies to enhance your success throughout your Princeton experience. Beyond Princeton, I love going on long drives with my wife and spending time with my adorable Corgi puppy.
