I am a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering at California Institute of Technology. I am currently supervised by Professor Kaushik Bhattacharya. I completed my Ph.D. from Georgia Institute of Technology, where I was supervised by Professor Phanish Suryanarayana. Prior to my graduate studies, I completed my undergraduate degree from Jadavpur University, India.
My academic interests are broadly in the area of theoretical and computational aspects of mechanics and materials science. I seek to develop theoretical and computational tools to guide the development of new materials. To this end, I have utilized state of the art developments in applied mathematics, physics and high-performance computing to answer imposing research questions in science and engineering.
