debayanband (at) berkeley.edu
To be sure, I spend most of my time scrapping together physics psets with help from my peers—multiplicative weights, anyone?—and bashing my head against NullPointers. While many people make complex jokes that draw many novel connections between different topics, my humor is a lot planar.

A human being who believes the first part of Gödel's disjunction. A wonderer of life who carries her laptop for LaTeX.

I actually graduated last year so to be sure I *also* don't know why I'm still here. Though I am quite curious if you can include emoji in this description. 🤔💻👨 I guess I'll know if that worked once this goes on the website.
