While this website serves as my primary digital ecosystem and creative portfolio, my formal academic research and peer-reviewed papers are archived externally. Bridging the analytical frameworks of my B.Tech with the creative praxis of my MFA, my scholarship operates within the interdisciplinary humanities.
My core areas of research include: • Film Studies, Media Arts & Migration Studies • The Intersection of Art, Science & Phenomenology • Cross-Cultural Synthesis: Placing ancient Indian and South Asian wisdom traditions in dialogue with Western depth psychology, neuroscience, and cultural studies.
