About Me

I am a doctoral researcher at the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. My academic pursuits reside at the crossroads of literature and digital technologies, with a particular focus on Shakespearean discourse in the context of contemporary digital culture.

My ongoing work integrates programming languages such as Python to curate texts, visualize data, and develop innovative digital frameworks and methodology for literary studies.
