Schmidt Science Fellow
Fletcher Lab, University of California, Berkeley
PhD (Mechanical engineering), Stanford University
M.S (Engineering Mechanics), JNCASR, Bangalore, India
B.E (Hons) Mechanical engineering, BITS-Pilani, India
Research Interests: Biophysics, Fluid mechanics, Microscopy, Active Matter
My background is in Engineering, Fluid mechanics and Biophysics. I have worked on diverse problems including swimming mechanics of the schistosomiasis parasite and Emergent cell mechanics in protists.
I co-invented and developed Scale-free Vertical Tracking-Microscopy (aka Gravity Machine), a novel technique allowing multi-scale (microns to meters) measurements of planktonic organisms and single-cells while preserving an ecological context.
As a postdoc I study mechanosensation, and am building new tools to probe this phenomena at molecular and cellular scales.
I enjoy using a combination of Experiments, Computation and Theory, to explore scientific questions .
