I have a bachelors' degree (B. Engg) in Polymer Engineering (1999) from Maharastra Institute of Technology, India. Following my undergraduate education, I worked with Cosmo Films Limited as a Junior Scientist in the area of polymeric films for one year. In fall 2000 I joined the Materials Science graduate program at Rochester Institute of Technology and received a M.S. degree in 2002. I joined General Electric Global Research (NY, USA) as a Polymer Engineer in Jan 2003. After working there for a year I came to the MSE department at CMU. I am a graduate student here and my advisor is Prof. Lisa M. Porter. My thesis involves the study of contacts (both ohmic and Schottky) to diamond and nanostructured carbon films.
