I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Delaware and a recipient of the Doctoral Fellowship for Excellence. I work under the guidance of Dr. Shangjia Dong at the Dong Research Lab and am also affiliated with the Disaster Research Center, a hub for interdisciplinary disaster science scholars and practitioners. My research centers around disaster impact modeling, complex network analysis, community resilience, and urban planning with specialization in system dynamics for coupled human-infrastructure systems, advanced data analytics, machine learning, geospatial analysis, and econometric modeling.

I completed my undergraduate studies in the discipline of Civil Engineering with honors from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN). I was awarded the Director's Gold Medal for outstanding overall performance and Institute Gold Medal for securing the highest cumulative performance index in my discipline. During my time at IITGN, I worked under the guidance of Dr. Udit Bhatia in the Machine Intelligence & Resilience Lab to develop robust networked infrastructure systems.
