“I met Aadu last year through the UW float lab. Since learning of his passing, every time I walk through the lab, I see moments of our interactions. We often connected over our Indian heritage, small things here and there like the feeling after eating at a wedding or growing up in the US as an Indian. In many ways, I looked up to Aadu as a role model and mentor, and I wish I could’ve told him I felt that way. May your soul rest in peace, Aadu.”
