I was born in the city of Bangalore, India, and spent much of my childhood in the neighborhood of Jayanagar. Since finishing school, I've been something of a nomad. Fun fact: the coordinates of all the cities I’ve lived in for extended periods can be reasonably fit by a straight line on a 2-sphere.

Bangalore → Surathkal → Bangalore → Bonn → Bruxelles → Firenze → Chennai

I'm now an assistant professor in the Physics Department of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.
