I was born in Chennai, a southern coastal city in India. I received my bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Anna University and a master’s degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. As a Structural Engineer in Larsen & Toubro Mumbai for 5 years, I designed structures for transportation projects that include the iconic taxiway bridge in Delhi Airport. My love for bridges made me pursue PhD at UT Austin, known for its bridge engineering research. I am currently working on developing design guidelines for bridge deck overhangs with heavy railings and sound walls. I enjoy stargazing, exploring the lakes and trails of Austin, playing table tennis, and watching sports.
