I am a fellow of the INSPIRE-SHE (Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research \u2013 Scholarship for Higher Education) program by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. From the summer of 2019, I worked as an undergraduate research student under the guidance of Dr. Pankaj Mandal at IISER Pune, focusing on the nonlinear optical properties of lead halide perovskites. I achieved hands-on experience in laser spectroscopic techniques and detection and built a Z-scan spectrometer under the guidance of graduate students. In addition, I received experience in the analysis of ultrafast Optical Kerr Effect spectra and Pump-Probe THz spectra. I also completed a research project studying the third harmonic generation in 1-Dimensional lead halide perovskitoids. For my MS project at Borguet group, I worked on a wavelength-dependent nonlinear optical study of Weyl semimetals.<\/p><p>As a Ph.D. student in Dr. Borguet\u2019s group, I am studying the impact of surface chemistry on the topological states of Weyl semimetals using ultrafast nonlinear optical techniques.
