I' am a research student working in the area of water waves. I work with a research group at Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India. We work in the broad area of fluid elastic structure interaction were, mathematical models are used to simulate physical problems with the help of computers. Apart from my research, I spend time on travelling, reading books and on occasional cooking adventures. Photography and music are some of the others things that I actively pursue.

Almost everything and everyone. But specifically, working with people. I like photography, liberal arts and computers. I write about food and travel. I love to cook and eat.

Listening is the one best thing you can always do.

I discovered TED only in my mid twenties. After that there was no turning back. Every day I spend an hour on TED. I believe life is a learning process, and I want to be a good student. I've been to my first TEDx in fall 2014. That was one great experience. I will be a part of it again. Definitely!!

Making things, and making things work. I play guitar and I like western classical music. I go for long solo bike rides.
