I am Shiv, an international student from the tropical island of Mauritius. I have been in Philly since 2017 and I love it! @Penn, I feel grateful everyday to be in an awesome research group. My research revolves primarily around molecular glasses. I employ the technique of Solvent Vapor Annealing to probe the dynamics in thin films of molecular and polymeric glass. When I am not in the lab, I am usually playing soccer or watching soccer on TV (until I am healed and fit to play again). Outside the department, I love good food (huge foodie!), dancing, fishing, hiking, free diving and any form of outdoors activity or team sports.
