About

My journey from school to Ph.D. has proved that we need to follow our heart and intuition, because they somehow already know what we truly want to become! While I was at school, I always enjoyed shuffling between the laws of motion to the fundamental theorem of calculus to the foundational unit of life. And wondered if it was ever possible to merge all three. By the end of school, I realized that scientific articles and books always grabbed my attention and a corner of my heart whispered that I would enjoy doing research. Little did I know what was in store for me in the future. Today, I am looking into this enigma called cancer, identifying physical phenomena that govern this ever-evolving and stochastic disease, and utilizing the certainty and deterministic nature of mathematics to formulate models which might nearly capture this baffling network. I was not aware that the fervor for interdisciplinary research was seeded inside me since my childhood, which further evolved during my journey to Ph.D., and I believe it will continue to do so in future. “Of course, it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was at school, but it is very very clear looking backwards, seven years later!” – adapted from the famous saying of Steve Jobs
