Students

they do all the hard work!

Note to Prospective Students
Thanks for your interest in working with our group. Unfortunately our lab is quite full and I will not be taking any further students till monsoon 2026.

I will also not be taking any students for short-term or summer internships. Due to the overwhelming number of non-personalized email requests, apologies for not being able to reply to each one.
