'I fell in love with the curriculum and the programme structure.'

Nationality: Indian

Programme: Master’s in Particle and Astrophysics

Previous education: 4-year BS (Research) in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore

Why did I choose Radboud University:
Radboud is one of the very few universities in the world that offers ample courses and research opportunities in gravitational-wave physics. I fell in love with the curriculum and the programme structure. In addition, I was offered a full scholarship that covers the tuition fee as well as my living expenses. Hence, Radboud was the obvious choice.

What am I looking forward to the most regarding coming to Nijmegen:
The orientation week, the “Hoogeveldt” life, exploring Europe, and becoming an expert on gravitational waves.

A fun fact about myself:
I used to have really long hair in high school – kinda like Rapunzel! (Just kidding, it was only knee-length. However, it was the result of 9 years of dedication :P)

My favorite motto is:
“Live a little crazy”
