Working at the intersection of autonomous systems, quantum foundations, cosmology, and aerospace engineering. Founder of NEXERCH.
"We move at the speed the problem burns."
I am an independent researcher based in Delhi, India, working across theoretical physics, cosmology, aerospace engineering, and autonomous systems. I have no institutional affiliation — all work is self-directed and self-funded.
I began independent research at 15, teaching myself quantum mechanics, operator theory, and aerospace engineering through MIT OpenCourseWare. My background is in PCB (Biology stream) — I have no formal mathematics training beyond secondary school.
In 2026 I founded NEXERCH — an independent research organization building systems that operate reliably under uncertainty. I will be joining IISER Pune in 2026 for the BS-MS programme in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics.
My research philosophy is simple: if the work needs to be done, it gets done. No institution required. No permission needed.
Production-grade systems built independently. Every constant traceable. Every decision auditable.
Independent research.
No walls. No committees.
Just the problem.
