Ashwin returns to the Mesa after attending Cate as a member of the Class of 2005. Upon graduation, Ashwin went on to earn his B.S.E. in chemical engineering at Princeton. He then returned to California for his Ph.D. in materials science at Stanford, where his research explored a broad range of topics from renewable energy to invisibility cloaks.

Following a post-graduate road trip that took him and his wife, Olivia Sparkuhl '06, over 33,000 miles through 18 countries from California to the southernmost tip of South America, Ashwin was drawn back to Cate to contribute to the community that had a significant impact on him as a student. Ashwin is eager to participate in this transformational moment in other people’s lives and loves sharing his energy and passion for math and science with others.
