Welcome to my website. :-)
I am a researcher working at the intersection of nonlinear dynamics, complex systems, network science, and eco-evolutionary dynamics. My research focuses on understanding how coherent and emergent collective behaviors arise in coupled oscillators and complex networks under competitive, attractive–repulsive, and time-varying interactions. By combining analytical techniques, numerical simulations, and network-theoretic approaches, I investigate how topology, temporal structure, and interaction asymmetry shape macroscopic dynamical outcomes.
Previously, I served as a Research Associate (Postdoctoral Fellow) at Constructor University (formerly Jacobs University) from April 2024 to April 2026. Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California, Davis, where my research expanded toward ecological synchronization and resource-mediated dynamical systems.
I obtained my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Calcutta, with research carried out at the Physics and Applied Mathematics Unit of the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. My doctoral work focused on collective dynamics in static and time-varying networks. More recently, my interests have broadened toward eco-evolutionary dynamics and evolutionary game-theoretic models, including paradigmatic social dilemmas such as the Prisoner’s Dilemma and Snowdrift games, as frameworks for understanding cooperation, resilience, and emergent behavior in complex systems.
Broadly, my research aims to bridge fundamental theoretical developments in nonlinear science with interdisciplinary applications across ecological, biological, and networked systems.
