Intro

Just a small sample!

Greetings!!! and welcome to a version of my social face

Hi, I am Hara. I got my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Kansas in May 2025. I present a few of my interests, quantified, for starters.

Bon appetite!

Learning - side effect of 29+ years of school90%
If I hear the word 'Radar'99%
Cooking - mostly the items from SouthEast central coast of India50%
Talking - includes soft and strong humor80%
Plants - garden or farm100%
Hiking - I can do this all day!50%
Weight lifting - I plan to lift Mjölnir one day42.3%
Programming - %% hara.m %% ice_peak_MATLAB = membrane(1,161);99%
Climate Change - I start like Bernie but Hulk takes over10%
