Hey there, I am a passionate health researcher with a robust quantitative background. I am currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Exeter, UK, exploring the trajectories of cardiovascular frailty in old age to inform healthy aging and improve the quality of life of older adults.

I earned a Ph.D. from the Department of Biology at IISER Pune, under the mentorship of Dr Pranay Goel. During my doctoral studies, I delved into the intricate relationship between metabolism and height in Indian children and adolescents. My thesis, titled “Modelling Growth Processes in Indian Children and Adolescents,” not only explores the nuances of these developmental aspects but also employs advanced quantitative methodologies to derive meaningful insights.

I enjoy the R language environment and love working with Tidyverse, RMarkdown, Blogdown, Shiny etc. I also work with specific R packages related to longitudinal data analysis (non-linear mixed effects models like SITAR) and generalised regression methods (GAMLSS) for my research.

Check out our easy-to-use web app, growHT, to monitor height growth in Indian children aged 5 to 18 years. Read more about this work here.
