Ananya Sahoo

I'm a driven researcher with 2 years of experience, currently contributing as a Summer Research Intern at IIT Guwahati, where I take full ownership of my work while pursuing ambitious goals with both analytical rigor and genuine empathy. I thrive in environments that balance structure with flexibility, bringing an assertive yet approachable presence to every collaboration. My ability to work autonomously while staying grounded in both logic and human-centered thinking allows me to deliver meaningful, accountable outcomes across research and beyond.
