I'm a PhD student, currently living in San Diego. My research focuses on developing medical devices and diagnostics. I moved to to Los Angeles for school after growing up in Bangalore, India for 21 years and then moved down to San Diego to pursue my PhD. I love to hike, run, cook, climb, spend time at the beach and read!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always been interested in travelling and meeting new people(I finally have some money to do it) and I believe what Couchsurfing offers is one of the best ways to explore a region - by actually connecting with people from there!
