I'm currently a DPhil student in the BBSRC DTP Interdisciplinary Bioscience program at the University of Oxford, based in the Department of Engineering Science. I am supervised by Harrison Steel and co-supervised by Jani Bolla.
My research lies at the intersection of synthetic biology, microfluidics, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), where I investigate bacterial behaviour and engineer synthetic biological systems for high-throughput single-cell studies.
Previously, I worked as a Biotech Junior Research Scientist at a MedTech startup Inito, where I developed POC based diagnostic testing kits.
Prior to that, I graduated with a Bachelors in Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology from IIT Delhi in May 2022. |

My current research lies at the intersection of synthetic biology, microfluidics, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). I develop mother machine microfluidic platforms to study bacterial behaviour at the single-cell level, combining experimental and computational approaches to better understand microbial dynamics and enable the design of engineered biological systems.
My interest in synthetic biology began during my bachelor's degree. At my previous position at Inito,
I worked on developing home testing kits for whole blood assay for various hormones.
This involved identifying the problems existing in whole blood assays and also attempting to solve them.
I used synthetic biology approaches like protein engineering to develop synthetic antibodies for
the tests that would give better performance and results. |

October 2025: My paper on Native mass spectrometry of membrane proteins reconstituted in peptidiscs
got published in RCS Chemical Biology. |
