I have done bachelor’s in Chemical engineering from IIT, India and master’s in Materials Engineering from Catholic University of America, USA. Currently I am a researcher in Bioengineering field. I have always had keen interest in math and science from my school days and I especially enjoy solving math problems and puzzles. Later as an engineering student, I learned to develop a strong foundation in any topic I studied, by bringing clarity, method and enjoyment into the process. As a Q&A expert I hope to bring that same clarity and system in my answers. I was also a graduate teaching assistant at CUA in the Mathematics department during my master’s education. There I assisted professors in managing students in undergraduate classes like calculus, linear algebra and differential equations. My work included grading exams and quizzes for students, conducting discussions with students to give constructive feedback, and helping the instructor in reinforcing course lessons. I hope to use this experience to better help any student.
