Passionate
Science Enthusiast !
I always beleive that scientists need to do more to contribute to society than simply advance their individual research agendas. Promoting science education has always been a core activity of my career. Since joining INYAS in 2023, I've been actively involved in promoting science communication to the general public and school students in India. Our aim is to inspire the next generation of scientists and foster a greater appreciation for science in our country.
