About myself: 

I am Nirmal Punetha, currently working as an assistant professor at Data Science Center, Amity Institute of Integrative Science and Health (AIISH), Amity University Haryana. I completed my PhD from School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi in 2014. After my PhD, I worked at University of Delhi as a research associate, and subsequently joined Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS), Dresden, Germany as a guest scientist. Further, I worked at Department of Physics and Astrophysics, University of Delhi as a guest faculty.  My broad area of research is nonlinear dynamics and complex systems. My doctoral research focuses on the effects of time–delay in coupled systems. Specifically, we explored how the time–delay — which inherently comes in the coupling due to finite speed of the signals — modifies the dynamics, including aspect of synchronization (emergence of collective rhythm), frequency, phase and amplitude responses. In my postdoctoral research, we studied collective dynamics of coupled oscillator networks. These projects focus on emergent phenomena exhibited by such systems, for example, synchronization and oscillation quenching (cessation of oscillations). In general, I am interested in the study of nonlinear dynamical systems with applications to interdisciplinary fields, for example, electronics, biology, ecology, climate science, time-series analysis, neurology, data-science and machine learning.
