My lab threw me a surprise party on my birthday with my favorite Cheesecake. So, of course, I made them to do the Trump to celebrate. 😀 My days are mostly spent working with this fantastic group of people.

I left Linux for MacOS Unix 10 yrs back when I couldn't make S3 deep sleep work on my beloved Thinkpad after a year of tinkering. Would be rushing into a meeting to discover laptop was discharged. But I'm getting the fomo again after DHH's Omarchy. I'm a tech masochist at heart.

Let me explain the reality - and trust me I had the same naïve impression when I was an undergrad student myself. The Professor from Ivy League has a highly educated assistant (whose salary healthily exceeds mine) who handles emails, plus an army of department secretaries to

Good question actually. And strangely that info is surprisingly hard to access for Ivy League. Anyway, some approximate graduation numbers for Dept. of Civil Engineering of Cornell, Columbia, and IIT Delhi. Cornell in 2022: Bachelors (32), Masters (27), PhD (7) Columbia in

My PhD work on Flash Floods in US National Weather Center from way back in 2016/17 got cited by The New York Times today in the context of the devastating Texas floods, along with Zhi Li's work. I had proposed a new variable called 'Flashiness' as a new measure of flash flood

One of the conscious changes I have made in the past 2 years in my advising style for PhDs is asking them for options rather than merely problems. Generally, I have a decent idea about what can be done to fix something. And in my earlier years in this job, I would not have the

Being able to enjoy something at 80% level is a superpower. Most activities in life (coffee, food, fitness, hobbies etc) are enjoyable at that level, and miserable at the 1% level, unless you're a true elite whose entire life revolves around that activity.
