Teaching Experience and Skills

I hold a BS-MS Dual Degree in Physics with a Minor in Biology from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Thiruvananthapuram, which has provided me with a strong interdisciplinary foundation in physics, biology, astrophysics, astrobiology, and planetary science. I have developed teaching and science-communication skills through academic presentations, research projects, conferences, webinars, and public science outreach activities. I am experienced in explaining complex scientific concepts in a clear and accessible manner to audiences with different levels of scientific background. My experience includes presentations at the ICTS Conference, India Science Fest, IRCC, Global Science Festival Kerala, and the UL Space Club Webinar. I also have practical experience with Python, MATLAB, Matplotlib, and scientific modeling tools, which can be incorporated into computational and demonstration-based teaching. My key teaching strengths include simplifying complex concepts, delivering structured presentations, engaging students through discussion, and connecting theoretical knowledge with practical research applications.
