I am primarily interested in the mechanics of discrete entities, which includes granular media, particulate matter, pedestrian motion, and traffic flow, to name a few. Currently, my focus is on understanding the mechanics of granular matter, specifically, flow of grains through apertures. Please visit the Research page for details on the currently undertaken and/or planned research works. I may be contacted at (ashish@iitgoa.ac.in) if you have any queries.
