I’m an Assistant Professor of Literature at Stevens Institute of Technology.

My scholarly work and interests span the fields of Science Fiction Studies, American and Postcolonial Literature, and Queer Studies.

I began my university career at Fergusson College in Poona, India, before studying at the universities of Freiburg and Berlin, where I was a European Commission and Rosa Luxemburg scholar respectively. From 2016 to 2022, I undertook doctoral work in Comparative Literature at New York University.

In 2021-22, I was a Mellon-funded Public Humanities Fellow at the Museum of the City of New York and served on the Board of Directors of the American Comparative Literature Association. In 2023, I was named an inaugural Faculty Research Fellow by the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at Stevens. In 2024, I was elected to the Board of Directors of CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center.
