Mentorship
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF) , Caltech
I co-mentored five students during Caltech's flagship undergraduate research program in 2019. Together, we explored the physics of entangled non-convex granular particles.
- Jade Leong (University of Massachusetts Lowell) - Mechanical behavior of entangled, non-convex granular particles: experimental analysis of the angle of repose.
- Katheryn Wang (Harvey Mudd College) - Uniaxial compression of discrete S shaped particles.
- Sydney Richardson (California Institute of Technology) - Tensile behavior of entangled non-convex granular particles.
- Animesh Rastogi (Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar) - Pluviation simulation and angle of repose of entangled granular materials.
- Omkar Devidas Kadam (Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar) - Exploring the properties of free standing column built out of designed granular particles using level-set discrete element method.
Resident Tutor, Cabot House, Harvard University
While a graduate student at MIT, for two years I resided in Cabot House, an undergraduate residence at Harvard University, as Resident Tutor among 400 undergraduates. I primarily interacted with students pursuing STEM related concentrations, advised them on academic and non-academic STEM career paths, assisted them on graduate school applications, scholarships, fellowships, research internships and tutored them on their math, physics and engineering courses among other things
