Projects
Research Education · Ongoing
Co-founded the world's first olympiad-style competition built entirely around scientific research — now run in 89+ countries.
Computational Biology · Completed
A research internship project at IISc's Centre for BioSystems Science and Engineering, quantifying single-gene and combinatorial (2-, 3-, 4-, and 50-gene) prognostic signatures across 31 TCGA cancer types, and estimating the false-positive/false-negative rate of the whole approach with a randomized null model.
Computational Biology · Completed
A greenhouse study at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore testing whether gradual drought pre-conditioning primes rice against Xanthomonas oryzae infection — quantifying ROS-driven membrane damage, lipid peroxidation, and chlorophyll retention across two genotypes, three drought regimes, and twelve treatment groups.
About
San Diego · UC San Diego
I'm studying Molecular & Cell Biology and Business Economics at UC San Diego (expected 2028). My work sits where computation meets biology and where research meets decisions — cancer transcriptomics, biotech strategy, and the institutions that shape how young people learn to think scientifically.
I care about the gap between statistical significance and biological meaning — why biomarkers fail, what research education actually teaches, and how to build tools that make complex ideas legible without hiding the uncertainty.
