I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Network and Data Science at the Central European University. I completed my Bachelor and Master in Science majoring in Physics from IISER-Pune, India. My Master's thesis was  "Infectious Disease Spread through Indian Transportation Network". I am interested in working on problems of social, political, and economical significance. Network Science, Data Science, and Game theory are a few of the many tools, which I hope to use to approach these problems. In the future, I hope to work on problems concerning human behavior and how individual decisions affect group dynamics. 

With the firm belief that science is a collaborative activity, I hope to work on important fundamental problems in our society by integrating skills from unconventional sources and coming up with innovative solutions by discussing, debating, exchanging, & consolidating as diverse perspectives as possible. In my free time, I like to read books from diverse genres, listen to instrumental music, and binge-watch Animes and Sitcoms.
