I am an M. Arch-2020 graduate from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During the tenure, I have served as the Project Architect for Illinois Solar Decathlon-Build Challenge and the Co-President of Gargoyle Architecture Honor Society. With a 4.5-year professional experience in residential, institutional, and hospitality projects in India and the US-Midwest, I hold an architectural license in India.
At UIUC, I have concentrated on Building Performance and honed my skills in Building Envelopes, Integrated Systems, Building Simulation, and Parametric Biomimetic Design. Simultaneously, I have diversified my interests in Corporate Policies, Business Organization, and Commercial Real Estate Development.
While on my traveling expeditions, I love spending time between visualizing the ideal public space and learning about Modern architectural history.
