I worked on designing an “Evaluation Board for a non-magnetic CMOS based Circulator”. Non-reciprocal devices such as circulators have immense application in communication, radar, imaging and sensing. Such devices are mostly made from magneto-optical materials which are bulky, expensive and they cannot be easily integrated on a CMOS based integrated circuit. Recently, non-magnetic CMOS based

I never imagined that I would get selected. It was the second Tuesday of January 2019, an ordinary day when my phone buzzed with an email from bose@iusstf.org stating

I am a senior undergraduate at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and a 2019 Khorana scholar. My work at the Nowicki lab at Duke University involved exploring the effects of categorical colour perception on mate choice in zebra finches. Realistic animations of videos of singing males were used in a two-choice experimental set-up to

Host: Professor Stephane Coutu, Pennsylvania State University I was involved in the project HELIX (High Energy Light Isotope eXperiment). It is a balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the chemical and isotopic abundances of light-cosmic ray nuclei from ~200 MeV/nucleon to ~10 MeV/nucleon. It is expected to fly in Antarctica in December, 2020. I tested the

I did my summer research internship at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the guidance of Prof. Chad Rienstra. My project was on the quest of searching lattice structure and dynamics of celebrated antifungal drug Amphotericin-B (AmB) and its interaction with Cholesterol and Ergosterol. The motivation of this project was to understand the working
