<h2>More About Me</h2>
<div class="row no-gutters">
<div class="py-4 ftco-animate">
<div class="desc">
<h4 class="subheading " >Astrophysics and Cosmology</h4>
<p class="location"> I am currently focused on <strong>Cosmology, GR, and Computational Astrophysics</strong>, particularly in the areas of simulating light curves, transient detection, and parameter estimation for early universe models. My work often involves high-performance computing and AI-driven data analysis. Being an astronomy enthusiast, I also enjoy stargazing and exploring the wonders of the night sky.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="py-4 ftco-animate">
<div class="desc">
<h4 class="subheading ">Mechanical Engineering </h4>
<p>During my degree in Mechanical Engineering, I worked on a variety of projects in solar thermal energy, robotics integrated with AI, metallurgy, machines and mechanical systems, and setups for studying the behavior of electro-weak fishes. These experiences have given me a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of engineering.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="py-4 ftco-animate">
<div class="desc">
<h4 class="subheading ">Interdisciplinary Projects</h4>
<p class="location">I have been involved in diverse projects ranging from creating a network of air quality sensors for IoT applications to solving complex scheduling algorithms for the course scheduling of my university and vehicle routing problems in computer science. My ability to integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines developed during my undergrad years has been a key asset in my work and research.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="py-4 ftco-animate">
<div class="desc">
<h4 class="subheading ">Philosophy </h4>
<p class="location"> I have been exploring various philosophical discourses formally starting with anthropology of texts and literature and humanistic inquiry, where I followed the rise of science and the question of individualism that arises from it. I have been reading about various schools of though including but not limited to nhilism, existentialism, absurdism, and stoicism. To answer some of the questions that arose from my inquiry with these schools, I have been focusing on Indian literature in the form of religious texts to understand the rich culture of my roots and to find meaning in this concious existence. My academic pursuits in this area have been enriched by my engagement with different schools of thought and my interest in the philosophy of science in which I am particularly interested in the epistemology of physics, especially in the context of cosmology and inflationary models.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="py-4 ftco-animate">
<div class="desc">
<h4 class="subheading ">Personal Interests</h4>
Outside of my professional and academic pursuits, I have a passion for sports and gaming. I enjoy playing football, cricket, table tennis, swimming, volleyball, and badminton. I am an avid reader, often immersing myself in books for hours. I also have a deep interest in literary writing and poetry, and I sometimes indulge in creating my own works and short stories. Music is another significant part of my life, I enjoy beat sampling and creating music using applications like GarageBand, FL Studio, and Cakewalk. I aspire to release an album in the near future. Additionally, I have a long-standing interest in writing blogs and review articles, which I have been doing since high school. You can check my <a href="blogs.html" target="_blank">blogs here</a>.</p>

<h4 class="subheading ">Academic Goals</h4>
Currently, I am working as an intern at the International Center for Space and Cosmology (ICSC), Ahmedabad University, following my Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering. My goal is to continue integrating my diverse interests in physics, engineering, computer science, and philosophy, and to contribute to advancements in these fields through interdisciplinary research and innovation.</p>
