My research interests center on soft condensed matter and biophysics, an interdisciplinary field. Our work focuses on studying diverse materials, including suspensions of nano- to micrometer-sized objects such as polymers, biopolymers, colloids, amphiphilic mixtures, droplets, membranes, and cells. The transport and mechanical properties of polymeric materials hold immense significance due to their broad applications in pharmaceuticals, microfluidics, gene sequencing, oil recovery, viscosity modification, and the paint industry, among others. Our research spans multiple characteristic lengths and time scales, from atomistic to macroscopic, where the coupling across these scales gives rise to intricate phase and dynamical behaviors. We employ advanced computational and theoretical tools to address these complexities and investigate living matter systems far from equilibrium. These systems exhibit fascinating and often counterintuitive individual and collective dynamics. 

For instance, we study phenomena such as the collective dynamics of bacterial suspensions, upstream swimming of microorganisms, cellular motility, population splitting, and the diverse dynamical states of microswimmers. These states include beating, rotational, and metachronal waves of cilia. Understanding these mechanisms is challenging when approached solely from a theoretical perspective. Therefore, we utilize hybrid mesoscale, coarse-grained, and large-scale computer simulation models to explore phenomena occurring across various spatial and temporal scales of living matter.
