I am an Organic Chemist by training who loves to read and write about the intersection of Science, Society, and the quest to find meaning in this distracted world.
My Story
My story
The Researcher
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan in the realm of high-throughput experimentation and machine learning in Chemistry. I obtained my Ph.D. from IIT Bombay working on developing strategies for valuable chemical synthesis by exploiting inert C(sp3)-H bonds in aliphatic compounds.
The Writer
Writing makes me feel more alive. I run an active blog (since 2017) where I publish new essays every month. My blog helps me to explore diverse subjects and nurture creativity. If you like to contemplate and become curious about the world around you, you might like my blog.
