About me
Researcher · Engineer · Educator
MS(Research) scholar, Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Delhi — supervised by Prof. Santanu Manna.
I am a researcher and engineer working across terahertz antenna design, semiconductor device fabrication, silicon photonics, and quantum technologies. My thesis at IIT Delhi involves designing and analyzing planar log-periodic sawtooth antennas for THz applications — full-wave HFSS simulation, graphene impedance modeling in Python, automated GDSII layout generation, and cleanroom fabrication with graphene-based THz detection.
Beyond the thesis, I design superconducting qubits and readout circuitry (Qiskit Metal, pyEPR, ADS QuantumPro), build silicon photonic modulators and filters (Lumerical CHARGE/MODE), run analog IC design flows in Cadence Virtuoso, and automate cryogenic measurement instrumentation with PyVISA/SCPI. Earlier stints include information security at Tata Consultancy Services and a bachelor thesis on quantum random number generation at SASTRA.
As a teaching assistant for five courses at IIT Delhi and a Qiskit Advocate with IBM Quantum, I am passionate about education, mentoring, and open collaboration. After completing my MS in June 2026, I am targeting R&D and engineering roles in the semiconductor, photonics, and quantum technology industries — alongside PhD opportunities.
