Hello! I am Anusheela, currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Argonne National Laboratory. My research focuses on X-ray characterization to study atomic scale interfacial structures.

Prior to this, I completed my PhD from the Northwestern University.

When I am not thinking about X rays, I like to paint, sculpt clay figures, or solve (unnecessarily large) jigsaw puzzles. I also spent a significant chunk of my free time watching Chess on YouTube.
