Chauhan Lab

Chauhan Lab is actively recruiting PhD students. For more information about research projects, contact Gaurav at gaurav@iiti.ac.in

We are currently recruiting PhD students

What to expect: 1) Opportunity to work on the most exciting and challenging problems at the intersection of Chemical Engineering, Biology and Physics, 2) Supportive mentorship which prioritizes your career goals, 3) Ability to collaborate with leading researchers across the world, 4) Publish high impact papers in reputed international journals

Minimum Eligibility: M. Tech. with GATE qualification or B. Tech. with valid GATE score

Preferred candidate: Strong thermodynamics knowledge, mathematical and coding skills, and most importantly willingness to learn and grow.

We use computational techniques to solve basic and applied questions in biology. In particular, we are interested in understanding phase separation of proteins and its resultant effect on biochemical reactions. Along with that, we also use computational tools to design enzymes for specific applications such as improving the selectivity of cellulases for biofuel production

Principal Investigator:

Dr. Gaurav Chauhan
Assistant Professor
Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Indore

Brief bio and outlook:

Gaurav currently works as an assistant professor in the department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Indore. Prior to joining IIT Indore, Gaurav obtained his postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Prof. Rohit Pappu at the Washington University in St. Louis, where he studied the role of crowding and active forces on intracellular phase separation of biomacromolecules. He obtained his PhD in the laboratory of Prof. Steve Abel at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, where he worked on understanding the role of macromolecular crowding on spatial organization and gene expression.

At its core, we are interested in understanding and engineering biological systems by using theoretical and computational tools
