About Me

I am Aparna Bhuvanagiri, a professional in the RF and Microwave domain. With expertise in designing and simulating RF circuits, I'm passionate about pushing the boundaries of technology.

Apart from work, I enjoy gardening, cooking, PC gaming, and helping others with their computer needs. As I keep moving forward in life, I discovered my interest in traveling, trekking and writing.

I have traveled quite a few places in my country and around the city I live. The picture of me in the header section was taken in Ziro valley. I've attended Ziro music festival in 2023. Sitting on the grass ground and listening to music by amazing artists from various places just make the experience better.

My first solo travel experience was wandering through the vibrant streets of Ahmedabad, soaking in as much as I could in a day while visiting for a paper presentation. The very next year, I fulfilled my dream of visiting Iceland and explored Reykjavik city and its surroundings. Although I couldn't witness northern lights but, the place was breathtaking and vibrant especially during the new year's eve. From strolling the city with paper maps, watching whales from the yacht and finally the Geo thermal spa (Blue lagoon) where warm water surrounded by snow. That place looks stepping into a dream. I experienced sunny, snowfall, rain, slightly windy (near the harbor) all in a week of my stay there. The place calls for revisit. This time, northern lights, definitely!

Moving on from travel stories, I experimented with writing poems. Its not so easy for me but gave a try. Check out my Poetry page to read few poems I composed.

If you love science, check out my page on Science stuff, currently I'm writing on RF and Microwave Electronics. Other science stuff, may be, one day!
