Unnati Akhouri, Graduate student in physics, is interested in uncovering the fundamental underpinnings of our universe. In particular she is interested in developing an understanding of the small, quantum mechanics, the big, gravity, and the bridge between them, through research in quantum gravity. She has previously worked as a science communicator at Cactus Communications and independently sketches comics on physics (phy-mics) on her website 'Fatal Physics.' She hopes to contribute to the field of fundamental science as well as education; to use her knowledge and excitement to impart the same in others. Akhouri completed her bachelor's in physics from the University of Delhi and a Masters in mathematical and theoretical physics from the University of Oxford, UK.
