Hi there! I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I am advised by Dr Tulika Bose. I graduated from BITS, Pilani—Goa in 2023 with bachelor's degrees in Physics and Computer Science.
My research aims broadly to understand and characterize interactions between fundamental particles by analyzing high-energy proton-proton collision data collected by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment. Concurrently, I am also interested in developing software and data-driven techniques to augment contemporary analysis tools in experimental particle physics.
In my free time, I enjoy going on long walks through hiking trails, collecting public transit fare cards, and semi-professionally reviewing dosas.
My name is pronounced /uh-MAY-yuh/.
