Research Interest: My research focuses on the Mechanics of Nanomaterials and Biological Systems, with a particular emphasis on employing theoretical and computational methodologies. I am intrigued by the mechanical behavior of fluctuating surfaces, particularly in the context of lipid bilayers and man-made flexible nanostructures such as molybdenum disulfide, phosphorene, boron nitride, and MXenes. One key aspect of my work is developing a continuum statistical mechanics model to investigate the entropic pressure near these fluctuating surfaces. Additionally, I utilize molecular dynamics simulations to gain deeper insights into the behavior of fluctuating membranes, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical modeling and computational observations in biophysics and material sciences.
