Meet our scholars

Growing up with a Nepali background in Australia, I have embraced both Nepali traditions and the Australian way of life in my upbringing. Currently, I’m in my fourth year at ANU, where I study aerospace engineering and computer science. I have a passion for learning and believe that progressing research for space technologies has wider, flow-on benefits to improving the quality of life for all. I have previously worked with research groups from around ANU and the University of Sydney on space-based research, and I’m a strong advocate for intercultural and international collaboration as a key to progress. I am excited to continue my studies in Japan, one of the few space-faring Asian nations and a global leader in technology. In my free time, I also enjoy playing weekend badminton, watching shows, and trying to cook up some experimental dishes in the kitchen.
