WORKING ALONGSIDE COMPANIES & PROJECT PROPOSALS
My Projects
UNEP Recommendation
Pitched a proposal focused on improving air quality in Delhi by targeting waste burning. Our 5-phase plan is centred around reducing PM2.5 emissions by up to 30%, adding 7% more jobs to the Delhi economy and indirectly affecting water shortage and agricultural burning.
Moonshot company proposal
Worked on a 10x solution to antibiotic resistance by developing the Sudora Sense, a tool that analyzes protein concentration levels in sweat and distinguishes between viral and bacterial infections to eliminate unnecessary antibiotic use.
MUSIC COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE
Have explored music composition by writing pieces inspired by the Superman Theme, Joe Hisaishi’s composing style, and experiments based on Brahms’ Lullaby. I have also sung in my school band and school holiday perfomances.
