I grew up in Hyderabad, India, where I got my B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and optimized automobile head restraints to reduce whiplash in rear-end collisions for my undergraduate thesis.
I then moved to Chicago for my Master's to study fluid interface interactions, with implications for oil spills, emulsions, and targeted drug delivery.
Later, I got my PhD at the University of Florida, researching thermal transport at interfaces and developing data center cooling applications.
A Bay Area internship during my PhD opened my eyes to the world of building products. I found more joy in shipping a product than publishing a paper, and it took me to Tesla, where I worked on thermal management of power electronics.
I'm now a Member of Technical Staff on the platform team at Etched, working on the hardware platform that Etched's AI chips run on.
My current interests include nuclear energy, diffusion models in machine learning, cryptography, and quantum computing. Please reach out if you want to talk more!
