About Me:
Hello! My name is Ayana Ghosh. My home resides in the state of West Bengal, India. I graduated from University of Michigan with my Bachelor’s Degrees (BS) in Physics and Abstract Mathematics in May 2015. Besides being a hardcore physics enthusiast, my interests lie in writing, solving mathematical problems, dance and travelling. I believe that Mother Nature has created the universe in a way where everything ties itself together. To be able to express it in terms of mathematics or physics, is the hard part! And that’s what fetches me into studying this subject. As once Tagore mentioned, “Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it” , I think with every scientific discovery, we unfold and let ourselves dive into many more mysteries, to understand the universe better.
