- Nano-Cybernetic Biotrek
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Media Arts and Sciences at MIT, where I work on developing spintronic devices and sustainable computing technologies. My research focuses on nanoscale devices built from 2D magnetic materials and brain-inspired stochastic computing hardware, with the goal of advancing scalable and energy-efficient systems.
I earned my S.M. from MIT, where I studied van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials for spintronic applications, and my dual degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) in Electrical Engineering from IIT Bombay, where my thesis explored the interaction between surface acoustic waves and magnetization. During my graduate work, I developed the first device demonstrating field-free electrical control of vdW magnets above room temperature — a milestone toward practical vdW spintronic technologies. This work was recognized with the MIT-HPI Design for Sustainability Grant, and I had the opportunity to speak at TEDxBoston’s Planetary Stewardship forum on the future of sustainable computation.
At heart, I’m an engineer who loves building — from fabrication setups to automated measurement systems. Outside of research, I enjoy traveling, especially hiking in the mountains, camping, and relaxing by the ocean. I’m also a trained harmonium player and a snooker enthusiast.
