Personal Website

I’m a final-year PhD student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU). I earned my Bachelor’s degree in ME from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) in 2016. Before joining JHU in 2018 I was an Analyst at the investment bank Credit Suisse, Mumbai from 2016 to 2018.
I am currently working in the interdisciplinary field of power systems and economics of the electricity market, with a focus on the control and optimization of energy storage systems.
