I am a fifth year graduate student in chemistry, specializing in analytical chemistry, with focus in mass spectrometry. I am also pursuing a degree in chemical engineering on the side.

I was born in Calcutta, India, and moved to the United States when I was 14.

I enjoy watching hockey, football and soccer. Since I grew up in Massachusetts I have become an avid Boston Bruins and New England Patriots fan. I have always been a Brazil and A.C. Milan fan.

To keep my sanity I enjoy photography, reading, music and cycling (nothing like the feel of the open road). I own a Trek 2000 racing bike.
