Womanium Quantum Global STEM Challenge - Winner
Awarded. 2024.
The person behind the physicist
Achievements, competitive records, certifications, and the slower things: music, reading, and building personal systems.
Competitive record
Exams that tested the ceiling
99.16%ile (CAT)
Common Admission Test. Top 1% of ~300,000 test takers.
CDS cleared
Combined Defence Services. Cleared written threshold for all three eligible academies (AFA, IMA, OTA). Attended SSB Prayagraj: the five-day officer selection process covering psychology, group tasks, and interview rounds.
AFCAT cleared
Air Force Common Admission Test. Cleared written stage for the Flying branch. Attended AFSB 2 Mysuru for Air Force selection: pilot aptitude testing, psychological assessment, and physical evaluation over multiple days.
Certifications & achievements
Credentials and competitions
Subject Matter Expert (Physics) | SciAstra
Academic mentoring for students preparing for competitive entrance examinations (JEE, IISER). Developed tiered practice problem sets covering classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and modern physics. Apr 2025 – Jun 2025.
Medhavi Chhatravatti: Government of MP
Merit-based scholarship awarded by the Government of Madhya Pradesh. Awarded 2019 based on Class XII performance (91.8%).
Quantum Computation: IISER Tirupati - Distinction
Completed with Distinction, 2022. Covered quantum circuit model, error correction, and algorithm design fundamentals from one of India's premier science institutes.
Leadership
Coordination under real constraints
Think India, Western Maharashtra
Coordinated academic and policy-facing programming, speaker logistics, and multi-day institutional events for Think India Western Maharashtra. Dec 2022 – Dec 2023.
Think India National Convention
Led protocol and delegation logistics for Dr. S. Unnikrishnan Nair (Director, VSSC (ISRO)) and accompanying delegates during a three-day institutional visit. Nov 2022.
The slower things
Slow skills, long arcs
Guitar, keyboard, and harmonica
Mostly self-taught and iterative. Music remains a useful reminder that repetition is not the same as stagnation.
Stoicism, existentialism, philosophy of science
Working lenses for agency, failure, control, and the limits of what a model can claim.
Running and fitness training
Consistent. Not competitive. The defence exam process made this non-negotiable, and it stayed.
Particle physics & cosmology
Deep fascination with Quantum Chromodynamics and early-universe dynamics. A personal focus area that anchors my thinking to fundamental physical constraints.
OSINT and operational security
Open-source intelligence gathering, digital threat modeling, and defensive security. Practical exercises in adversarial thinking and surface-hardening.
Personal systems
Personal architecture builds
ArgOS
A local-first employment operating system (Obsidian vault) for job applications, freelance proposals, PhD and scholarship outreach, interview prep, CV and resume curation, cover letters, SOPs, opportunity research, and reusable employment memory. Raw material stays local; only sanitized outputs leave the vault. Personal infrastructure, not a public project.
Orrery
A personal operating system and governance control plane for AI agents in a local workspace. Policy, enforcer, scheduler, learner, and lifecycle subsystems use cross-platform shared resources for rules, skills, and workflows. Personal infrastructure, not a public project.
Lattice
Built a local-first personal knowledge dashboard around browser-resident RxDB/IndexedDB data. Implemented client-side search, reminders, context export, authenticated app-shell workflows, and a typed Next.js foundation; knowledge-graph exploration and Google Drive synchronization remain gated beta work.
qBIT
Designed a React prototype for evidence-aware quantum Business Intelligence Tracker, with three audience-specific layouts and interface patterns for source classification, citations, caveats, maturity views, and readiness scoring. The current dataset is static/editorial; physics-themed interactions are illustrative, with Bloch-sphere measurement grounded in Born-rule probabilities.
Planck Integral
Built a correctness-first, high-precision Python oracle for incomplete Planck integrals, tails, and bands. Independent numerical methods, cross-checks, golden reference data, and automated tests evaluate results against a normalized absolute-error target of ≤ 5×10⁻²⁶; embedded fixed-point work remains a future phase.
