Hello,Im an only child, raised by incredibly supportive and progressive parents who live in Mysore with their beloved dogs. My father is a retired Deputy Director from central government services, and my mother is a homemaker. Theyve always encouraged curiosity, independence, and educational values that have shaped who I am today.I completed my undergraduate studies at IIT Guwahati, followed by a Masters in Optics and Photonics from Europe (France and Germany), and then a PhD in Physics from Barcelona as a Marie Curie doctoral fellow. Recently, I moved to Sweden for a postdoctoral position and have been here for about a year now.While I genuinely enjoy research and intellectual exploration, Im also someone who reflects deeply on long-term goals. After exploring academia further this year, Im planning to transition into an industry role in Europe next year. Having spent nearly seven years in Europe, I see my future here and intend to build both my professional and personal life in this... more part of the world. I dont foresee relocating to the United States, so I may not be the right match for someone whose primary goal is to move there. While marriage has often been a light-hearted conversation starter among my cousins and relatives, I approach it with an open mind but without urgency. Through this profile, I hope to connect with someone who shares a deep respect for education and personal growth and an appreciation for both independence and companionship in a relationship.Outside of work, I genuinely enjoy cooking; its how I unwind after a long day. I love experimenting with different cuisines, hosting friends when possible, and discovering new food when I travel. Exploring new places and cultures (often through their food!) excites me.Food is a serious business! Period! I respect family involvement, but I believe choosing a life partner should primarily be a personal decision. I therefore prefer profiles managed by the individual themselves.
