Hello! I am Chirag, a third year undergrad at IIT Hyderabad pursuing a B.Tech in Industrial Chemistry. I like reading and tinkering with code and chemistry :)

Some write-ups

I enjoy writing a lot and it has been a great way to reflect on my thoughts and sort of try to make sense of the stuff going on in my head.
Following includes some of my learnings from the courses that I have taken, some reflections on the questions that got stuck with me during lectures or while doing any project or just by different experiences of life itself and some random stuff.

  1. Oxygen releasing biomaterials for preparing hydrogels used in cell encapsulation [todo]
  2. FOSSEE Summer Fellowship 2026
  3. The Mechanism behind bio-adhesive gels
  4. If we are preventing chain transfer from occuring in living polymerization then how can we get branched polymers in that case?[todo]
  5. Some research papers which are a delight to read.
  6. Things Mr. William Shakespeare said (hopefully)
  7. Why is it hard to synthesize polymers with PDI close to 1 when nature does it effortlessly?
  8. Some quotes that I want to come back to everytime.
  9. Why do we keep the hydrogels in PBS to understand their stability inside the body?
  10. My Learnings from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
  11. My Learnings from some writings of Swami Vivekananda.
  12. Understanding implementations of math equations using kernels (GPU computing) [todo]
  13. Medically considered waste, umbilical cord is a great source of stem cells. [todo]
  14. Notes from Einstein's Dream by Lightman. [todo]
  15. Can we determine the functional cells into which a particular stem cell can be differentiated into and how will that differentiation work? [todo]
