About Me
I am a dedicated Mechanical Engineering student at BITS Pilani, with a strong foundation in CAD design, thermal systems, and simulation-based analysis. I hail from Hyderabad, Telangana, and my academic journey has been shaped by a deep-rooted passion for aerodynamics and an evolving fascination with hypersonic flows and their application in next-generation aerospace systems.
Driven by curiosity and a commitment to excellence, I aspire to pursue a master's degree and further research in aerospace engineering, particularly in high-speed flow dynamics. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of the field through cutting-edge innovation and collaborative research.
Beyond technical expertise, I value interdisciplinary exposure and teamwork, which I believe are essential for engineering impactful, real-world solutions. I aim to apply these strengths to develop sustainable, socially relevant technologies that bridge the domains of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
