I am a doctoral candidate in computation and neural systems at the California institute of technology (Caltech). I belong to the DNA and natural algorithms group and am advised by Erik Winfree. I’m also a member of the molecular programming project team.

I engineer smart molecular systems to interface with biology or perform self-assembly, both of which silicon-based systems typically cannot do.

I graduated from the Indian institute of technology at Kanpur with a masters in mathematics and scientific computing in May 2008. After working in quantitative finance for a year, first at Lehman Brothers and then at Nomura, I joined Caltech in July 2009.
