Shalini Aggarwal
Ms. Shalini Aggarwal is a Ph.D. scholar at IIT Bombay under the guidance of Prof. Sanjeeva Srivastava. She has done her B.Sc. (H) in Microbiology from Delhi university. She qualified IIT-JAM with all India rank 40 and got admission to IIT Roorkee, scholarship-basis from the Department of Biotechnology. She has secured a Ph.D. position at IIT Bombay with the highest score in the entrance exam. She has been the recipient of various awards such as a travel grant for poster presentation at Paris, merit awards at BSc level, newton Bhabha fellowship, 2020, and many more. Apart from academics, she is a taekwondo and chess athlete. Also, a proud member of MENSA India since 2010, an International organization of high IQ people across the world.
She believes in repaying society back, hence, she started an initiative for girls of rural and tribal regions, Anukarniya, in association with MENSA (International organization of high IQ people) and MWIS (International community of million women in STEM). She is both, the founder and host of the initiative with the successful publication of season 1, 11 episodes of interactions with experts of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics/Medicine).
