Teaching Interests: Worked with the physics education group at UMass to investigate the impact of team-based learning on student self-efficacy and attitudes in introductory physics courses. Interested in building welcoming and inclusive learning environments.
Background and Hobbies: I was born and brought up near Mumbai, India, and moved to the United States for my undergraduate education in 2014. My interests outside of physics include doodling, bullet journaling, singing Bollywood songs, and feeding squirrels.
