Biography

I am Siddharth Krishnan, a Research Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar. I did my undergraduate from IIT Gandhinagar in Electrical Engineering. Since high school I have loved learnign physics and writing code.

My strong interests in these, along with a passion for engineering, has lead me to pursue research in the field of computational materials science.

When I am not tinkering with atoms, I like to shoot some hoops or read and write fiction.
