From Kathmandu to Howard.

I'm a Mathematics and Physics double-major at Howard University maintaining a 4.0 GPA, originally from Kathmandu, Nepal. My research sits at the intersection of nonlinear PDEs, mathematical physics, and computational modeling — currently studying soliton dynamics in DNA interactions under the Sine–Gordon equation. I care about building things that matter: from NASA Space Apps platforms that help farmers to math education that reaches thousands of students across Nepal.
