This semester, I took a class on Origami Engineering. Taught by Prof. Paulino in the Civil Engineering Department, it is a class that aims to teach students state-of-art concepts and algorithms to design and analyze origami structures, while also teaching them basics of differential geometry through origami principles. It is one of the best classes... Continue Reading →
Halfway done! I have alot of mixed feelings about this - as a junior I get to take a lot more cool classes, I have a better idea of the things I can do, and more importantly, the things I can't or aren't worth it. I have a lovely group of people I hang out... Continue Reading →
I really wish I were more consistent about posting here, but I wanted to pop back in with an update on what’s been going on. This semester has been incredibly busy. I’m a sophomore now, which means I get to take classes that are more directly tied to my major. The workload and difficulty have... Continue Reading →
I made this watch this summer break because I've been wanting to get better at PCB design and level up from programming microcontroller boards to bare chips. I spent the last two and a half months interning at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. During my internship, I worked on developing a calibration protocol and... Continue Reading →
I completed my first semester at Princeton this December. It was an incredibly hard choice choosing to go so far away instead of IITk, but I'm glad I ended up going. One of the classes I took this semester was Introduction to Ceramics. The goal of the class was to teach learners the basics of... Continue Reading →
In November 2023, my partner Niru Vijayakrishnan and I built Ray for HackPrinceton, a hackathon hosted by Princeton University. This was my first ever hackathon, and I went into it with no expectations. I was honestly astounded by how much my peers were capable of and how much you can build when you focus on a single problem for 36... Continue Reading →
With college application season and JEE season at an end (committed to Princeton University!!) I had the time to tackle my to-do list. I've been working on this project on and off for two months and finally completed it this week. Teebot is a t-shirt folding robot that uses servos and a 4-panel system to... Continue Reading →
Ever since I made my Starry Night pair of clay earrings, I've gotten into using clay to emulate paintings and painting techniques. This past week, I made a dragon in the theme of the Almond Blossoms set of paintings by Van Gogh. These earrings were made from the leftover clay from my dragon. This blog... Continue Reading →
About three years ago, I wrote an article for my school newspaper 'Covid-19 – How The Pandemic Could Change Education'. I've always been a proponent of online education and felt that the use of new online learning paradigms during COVID-19 could phenomenally increase access, efficiency, and practicality of education worldwide. I'm an avid fan of Khan... Continue Reading →
Last summer, I built IKSHANA with two other team members, Vani Bedi and Rudra Gupta, as part of a five-week bootcamp hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. The program gave us access to fabrication facilities like 3D printers and laser cutters, as well as a wide range of tools, components, and lab space that made rapid... Continue Reading →
