I received my Doctor of Philosophy degree in Computational Soft Matter from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Balaji VS Iyer. My Ph.D. work mainly focused on developing a computational framework for integrating effective pair-interactions between Polymer-Grafted Nanoparticles (PGNs), with self-consistent field theory (SCFT) and Bell model.  The framework was then used to simulate the mechanical response of PGN networks to varying deformation forces as a function of grafting density of polymer chains on PGNs, strain-rate and bond interaction energies. 

Post-Ph.D. I worked as a Research Assistant in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. I examined the role of elastohydrodynamic instabilities in the formation and expulsion of fluid particles from airways during expiratory events. The goal was to provide effective strategies to mitigate airway closures.  

Currently, I am an Institute Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, working primarily on polyelectrolytes.

I am actively seeking post-doctoral opportunities and new collaborations. My areas of research interests are: computational soft matter, polymer physics, rheology, surface interactions, and functional materials.
