I am a physics graduate student currently working in Prof. Dan Ralph's group at Cornell University. Prior to starting graduate school, I completed my 5-year integrated major in Physics and Electronics at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, India in 2011. My graduate research work primarily focuses on understanding the fundamental properties of novel 2D van der Waal magnetic materials and exploring unique functionalities that can be enabled by using these materials in spin-orbit devices. My research interests also include exploring and integrating exotic quantum materials in spintronics device-based technologies.
