My Journey...

When I embarked on my B.Tech journey in Engineering Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, I was driven by an insatiable curiosity about the fundamental laws governing our universe. Over the years, this passion has grown deeper, guiding my exploration of fields like high-energy physics, quantum mechanics, and cutting-edge detector mechanisms.

Studying at IIT Hyderabad taught me resilience. Balancing research, coursework, and campus life wasn’t always easy, but it made me stronger and more determined.

It wasn’t just about academics, though. Campus life has its own charm. I met people from all over the country, each with unique stories and talents. Between assignments and projects, there were chai breaks at the canteen and late-night talks in the hostel. These moments reminded me that even in the midst of rigorous studies, there is always room for friendship and fun.

Learning & Fun Activities

I was a core member in Cepheid, the astronomy club of IIT Hyderabad. As a core member, I had the chance to merge my love for physics with my passion for the cosmos. One of my proudest moments was organizing a workshop on planetary data analysis. We worked with raw data from telescopes, teaching participants how to process and analyze it to uncover fascinating details about planets. Seeing others share my enthusiasm for astronomy was incredibly fulfilling.

Attending guest lecture on JWST

Professor Mark McCaughrean is a distinguished astrophysicist and the Senior Advisor for Science & Exploration at the European Space Agency (ESA).

Professor McCaughrean has been deeply involved with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) project. He serves as an Interdisciplinary Scientist on the JWST Science Working Group, contributing to the development and implementation of the telescope's scientific objectives.

Notably, his team discovered candidate Jupiter-mass binary objects (referred to as JuMBOs) in the Orion Nebula, highlighting the telescope's capability to reveal previously unseen aspects of our universe.

I had the privilege of attending an engaging and detailed guest talk by Professor Mark McCaughrean at the Birla Planetarium in Hyderabad.

The talk delved deep into the telescope's innovative technology, its journey of development, and its potential to unravel the mysteries of our universe. This experience was both enlightening and inspiring, reinforcing my passion for exploring the cosmos and the advanced mechanisms that make such exploration possible.

...to LMU

My path has taken an unexpected but positive turn. While I was initially planning for a PhD in the USA, I am now pursuing my Master's at LMU. I am embracing this change as a significant opportunity. I plan to use my time in Munich, which is a global hub for quantum computing, to redirect my professional career and specialize fully in this cutting edge field.
