Kapil Chandra Akula

I’m Kapil Akula, originally from Hyderabad, India. I did all my studies there through my bachelor’s degree before moving to Arizona State University in Fall 2021. I started my Ph.D. in 2024 and bring a strong focus on learning, research, and teamwork.

Being from Hyderabad, food has always been a big part of my life. Cooking is my go-to way to relax and unwind after a busy day in the lab. I’m also a passionate cricket player and love being part of a team both on and off the field. I’d call myself an introvert, so most of the time you’ll find me in the lab—but if it’s the weekend, you’ll have to come to the cricket ground to find me.
