KIRTHIKA S

A passionate and driven individual with a lifelong curiosity and enthusiasm for science, demonstrated through active participation in science exhibitions, projects, and fairs since school.

After completing my graduation, I successfully qualified for the national-level Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) in 2022. This achievement enabled me to join the Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), under the Department of Atomic Energy, India, as a Junior Research Fellow. At RRCAT, I have been involved in innovative research projects, contributing to advancements in my field while honing my technical skills, analytical abilities, and collaborative mindset. My career aspirations lie in making significant contributions to scientific research, leveraging my passion for innovation, and problem-solving to address complex challenges.
