Passionate about communicating science, Ameya graduated from The University of Sheffield and worked in the genetics testing industry for 10 years before taking the leap into writing for science enthusiasts.
His writing journey began with raising awareness about the COVID-19 pandemic and steps to combat it. Ameya has since forayed into writing about a wide range of topics ranging from artificial intelligence to renewable energy and everything in between.
Working as a freelance writer has allowed Ameya to freely explore different areas of science, something that was amiss in the laboratory.
