ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Nepal. I moved to the USA to get a Bachelor's degree in Physics and Mathematics at the University of Chicago. Upon graduation, I moved to Geneva, Switzerland to work on the ATLAS Experiment at CERN for a year. It was a wonderful year which made me wanna stay in Europe longer. So, I continued with a masters program around Europe (Innsbruck, Rome, Padova). Now I am finally back in Nepal :) Been here through the Covid. Stayed in Kathmandu for a year; just moved back to my hometown. I’m traveling away quite often, so my hosting situation will depend on whether I’m here.

I have many interests: Painting, Music, Cinema, Cooking, Brewing beer, Drinking Wine, Teaching

Trekking in the Himalayas of Nepal was life-changing. You should do it!

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, Be funny, Be useful.
