I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Physics, BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus. The research activities in my group belong to the broad umbrella of "Statistical Mechanics" and "Condensed Matter Physics".
Under these domains, we study equilibrium and non-equilibrium phenomena in soft matter, complex systems using molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, and phase-field simulations.
Our computational work are relevant for microfluidics, nano devices, and solar cells.
