Indian Classical Music

I have been learning to play the Indian classical instrument Tabla for the last 7 years, and have learnt the Hindustani style of Vocal music for about 2 years. The rich Indian classical music fascinates me, and I’m associated with organizations like SPIC MACAY that seek to preserve these art forms.

Travel & Photography

I’ve been lucky to travel to various parts of India & Europe and explore the diverse cultures. I often pen down my thoughts on these trips, and love to take pictures with my DSLR (or even my mobile :)), particularly when it involves nature. More details to be updated shortly!

Mentoring

Undergraduate Research, , 2023

I am always excited about mentoring juniors on any aspects of undergraduate programs or research - be it related to courses, specializations, undergraduate research, research internship programs, or even application procedures for these. I’d also be happy to review application packages for research internship programs and graduate school applications. If you feel our backgrounds align and I might be of help to you, feel free to shoot me an email at shashanknag@utexas.edu. If you are from EE@IITM, check out the EE Research Club that a few of us initiated!
