I am a computational biologist involved in using mathematical models to study metabolism in biological systems. I first heard about SciROI in 2021 when I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford funded by the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) through the Crops in silico (Cis) project. I attended the 2021 virtual annual event, and as someone who has always planned on returning to India and setting up his own lab, I instantly recognized the value of the work SciROI was undertaking and decided to join the SciROI volunteer team to help with the cause. Working with SciROI has improved my understanding of the Indian research ecosystem and I have transitioned to IISER Thiruvananthapuram as an Assistant Professor on tenure-track in 2023
