Outside the lab
When I'm not immersed in research, you'll probably find me working from a cozy café with an iced latte in hand. I love slow mornings, getting completely absorbed in fiction, and collecting memories through travel, food, and new experiences.
I'm a trained Indian classical dancer and an animal lover. Whether I'm revisiting photos from Japan and Banff, searching for my next favorite book, or looking back on milestones from my research journey, I'm always drawn to things that spark curiosity and connection.
This little corner is a collection of places, books, and moments that have shaped who I am beyond my work as a researcher.
Fiction is my favorite escape ✨ Current favorites from my ever-growing "just one more chapter" collection
