About Sohini Mukherjee

Nothing is rich, but the inexhaustible wealth of nature. She shows us only surfaces, but she is a million fathoms deep”- Ralph Waldo Emerson It is this depth that Science tries to estimate through its various branches. Leave alone its multifaceted nature; Science is like a guardian without whom ‘Progress’ will lose its meaning. I feel grateful to be a part of the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, which harbors every amenity for the mind of the learner and the soul of the diligent. At this juncture of my graduate program, challenges are tantamount to a bridge between my coveted dream of being a scientist and the reality. Four years of research in experimental physical chemistry resulted in a particular affinity towards the thorough characterization of materials, mostly in their \'nanoscale residence.\' Hence, I learned to use a wide variety of experimental techniques. For the past year, I have delved more into chemical data analysis and the use of machine learning in the field of single-molecule biophysics. The story that the tremendous experimental results have to say never fails to intrigue me. The search for that story is the impetus of innovation. In the 21st century, scientific research or innovation no longer counts on sudden epiphanies of genius minds but years of experiments and extensive data analysis by paying due respect to existing ideas. Data and the various ways of perceiving it is the \'true pillar\' that holds up the monument of \'Science and Technology\' in today\'s world.
