Bio

Hometown: Brownsburg, Indiana

Anagha is majoring in biological engineering with a cellular and biomolecular concentration, minoring in biotechnology and pursuing the Cornerstone certificate. She is a part of the Operations Leadership Team for the Women in Engineering (WiE) Program. Outside of WiE, Anagha works as an undergraduate research assistant in a research lab and is an agricultural and biological engineering ambassador. In the summer of 2024, she was a Summer College of Agriculture Research Fellow researching biosensor technologies. In her free time, Anagha loves to read, crochet and try new things!

“My favorite part about being involved in WiE is having so many resources that help set me up for success. I'm surrounded by so many women who believe in me and want to see me succeed, which is a wonderful kind of support. I love being part of such a positive, helpful community where I can share the same kind of support to other women pursuing engineering!”
