Bio
I am a first-year PhD student specializing in the histories of science and technology. My research focuses on the intersection of science in vernacular languages, translation practices, scientific objects, and everyday technologies in southern India. I am also interested in exploring how science is popularized and vernacularized, with an emphasis on examining literary archives to understand this process.
