About

My research interests lie at the intersection of environmental engineering and geochemistry. I use fundamental knowledge to investigate complex issues such as metal fate and transport in engineered and natural environments.

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University where I am exploring ways to maximize nutrient recovery from wastewater to achieve circular economy.

Previously, I was a McDonnell's International Academy Scholar and a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. I am originally from India and have completed my Master's degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay.

During my career, I have gained expertise in several areas of research including biogeochemical cycling in natural systems, adsorption of Rare Earth Elements on minerals, synthesis and application of magnetite nanoparticles and wastewater management.
