Dr. Pushpita Ghosh
I consider myself as an interdisciplinary scientist whose research interest is focused around a common theme of understanding and exploring the spatio-temporal orders which emerge in various chemical, physical and biological systems using theoretical modeling and numerical/computer simulations.
I completed my doctoral study in theoretical physical chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Deb Shankar Ray at Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science with an objective of investigating spatiotemporal dynamics of some chemical reaction-diffusion systems. During my postdoctoral research in the group of Prof. Herbert Levine and Prof. Eshel Ben-Jacob at Rice University, USA, I became interested in the complexity and wonderfulness of biological systems and made a transition into theoretical biological physics. I started my first independent career at TIFR Hyderbad as INSPIRE Faculty and currently I am working as an Assistant Professor at IISER Thiruvananthapuram.
