Pruthvi joined EIP as a Patent Scientist with a background in Physics. Pruthvi gained a PhD in Particle Physics from the University of Liverpool. Her PhD focused on NCQE (neutral-current quasielastic) interactions and neutron tagging at Super-Kamiokande (a Water-Cherenkov neutrino detector located in Japan). NCQE interactions mimic the signal from supernova relic neutrinos (SRNs), so understanding this signal better improves SRN signal sensitivity.
Since 2020 Pruthvi has also been a member of IOP (MInstP) and has been a contributing columnist for PhysicsWorld, the membership magazine for the Institute of Physics, and written articles for the publication about the Thirty Metre Telescope (TMT) and the importance of inclusion in scientific publishing. She has also produced scientific content for YouTube and has worked in academic scientific proofreading and editing.
