Four cities.
One evolving story.

01 / MUMBAI · 1999–2022

Where it began.

Mumbai is where I grew up and built my foundations. At ICT Mumbai, I studied Surface Coating Technology; at Asian Paints, I worked with industrial coatings.

Alongside chemistry, I kept playing the piano, earning Trinity Grade 8 Piano Performance in 2022. Materials and music were already part of the same life.

02 / DONOSTIA–SAN SEBASTIÁN · 2022–2023

A new city. A wider perspective.

My master’s journey took me to the Basque Country and UPV/EHU. At POLYMAT, I worked on multimodal polymer dispersions based on methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate.

This chapter added another way of thinking about materials to my coatings background: looking closely at the particles within a dispersed system.

03 / BORDEAUX · 2023–2024

Chemistry, with a different current.

In Bordeaux, my master’s research at LCPO focused on PEDOT conducting inks—connecting polymer chemistry, formulation and electrical performance.

French became part of the wider experience of studying and living in France. I later earned my DELF B2 in 2025; my learning journey now informs a book and audiobook in development.

04 / PARIS REGION · 2025–present

The chapter I’m writing now.

I’m now pursuing a PhD at LPPI, CY Cergy Paris Université, working on materials for wearable electrochemical energy storage.

Away from the lab, there is piano, tennis and learning to dance. I’m also developing ways to share what I’ve learned through French resources and a beginner piano course in development.
