Teaching:
I have introduced and taught 5 new courses at IIT Kanpur:
(i) Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics (PHY615)
(ii) Physics of Natural Nano-machines (PHY617),
(iii) Statistical Physics of Biomolecules and Cells (PHY619),
(iv) Physics of Biomaterials: structure and dynamics (PHY310),
(v) Physics of non-equilibrium phenomena (PHY311)
I have also taught professional (compulsory) courses like
PHY210: Thermal Physics,
PHY412: Statistical Mechanics,
PHY543: Condensed Matter Physics, etc.
and undergraduate core course (PHY101: Mechanics; later re-numbered as PHY102N). I have served as tutor almost every semester for either PHY102N (Mechanics) or PHY103N (Electrodynamics).
