About me

I currently work as a Senior R&D Engineer in Reactive Flow modeling group at Gamma Technologies, LLC.   Prior to this I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Applied Physical Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of California San Diego (UCSD) co-advised by Prof. Padmini Rangamani and Prof. David Saintillan. My Ph.D. work primarily focused on the problems of thermodynamics and continuum mechanics in the domain of biology, especially in the cellular membrane. Much of my recent work involves fluid flow and transport phenomena in a deforming membrane. Being a student of mechanical engineering, I am inclined towards mechanics on a small scale, but the complexity in the biophysical phenomena equally fascinates me.  More recently, I found enormous interest in the mathematics of manifold. The name of the website is influenced by that.

Before joining here at UCSD, I completed my undergraduate degree in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur (at Present, IIEST Shibpur) and completed my Masters in Technology (M.Tech.) in The Department of  Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kanpur with the specialization of Fluid and Thermal Science. I completed my Master's thesis with Prof. P. S. Ghoshdastidar and worked on theoretical and computational models of heat transfer with a nanofluid. I Joined Eaton Technologies as an Engineer and worked there for a couple of years in the section of Center of Excellence: Modeling and Simulation (Flow and thermal team) and Aerospace Division. 

Other than academics, I am a huge cricket fan. I prefer to play a game rather than watch it. Hitting the ball with the mid of the bat gives me an enormous pleasure which is no less than getting a clue after staying stuck in research for a couple of weeks. I love to watch Bengali movies, especially based on socio-political ground. Cooking is my meditation, I understand country, culture, history with their food, love to do research on methods of cooking, patterns of spices used, physics involved  (especially beyond fluid mechanics).
