Hi there, I'm Ari!

I'm currently a PhD student in Theoretical Chemistry at Stony Brook University. I'm broadly interested in how light interacts with molecules and materials. Photochemical reactions often happen at ultrafast timescales, which makes accurate theroretical descriptions challenging. At Stony Brook, I am advised by Benjamin G. Levine and am also affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Computational Science.
Prior to coming to Stony Brook, I was an undergrad at BITS-Pilani, Goa, where I studied Chemistry and Electrical Engineering. In the past, I've worked with Federica Agostini, and Oleg Prezhdo.

Things I'm currently thinking about outside of research:
-How we aspire towards values
-The nature of technological progress and how useful science needs to be
