<p style="text-align: justify;">My academic journey is marked by recognitions that reflect both design sensitivity and research competence. During my undergraduate years, I was shortlisted twice for the Louis I. Kahn (LIK) Trophy and received a special mention in the GRIHA Trophy at the NASA annual conventions. I secured All India Rank 2124 in GATE (Architecture and Planning) in 2019 and am a Registered Architect with the Council of Architecture (COA), India. Recently, my research was awarded Best Poster at the Healthy Buildings Asia 2025 International Conference. Collectively, these achievements demonstrate a consistent trajectory from architectural design excellence to research-driven contributions in environmental sustainability and building performance. <span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">Additionally, I was selected for the Sakura Science Exchange Programme at Hiroshima University, Japan (2025), where I engaged with the Building and Urban Environmental Science in Asia (BUESA) research group. </span><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">This international academic exposure strengthened my cross-cultural research perspective and expanded my engagement with climate-responsive building science in the Asian context.</span></p>
