Bio

Hello, Namaste, Ciao! Welcome to my webpage.

After earning Ph.D from the Department of Physics, IIT Bombay, India, in 2021, I moved to the Biorobotics Institute at Sant'Anna, Pisa, Italy, for a postdoctoral fellowship in 2022. During my doctoral thesis, I extensively worked on self-propelled artificial swimmers known as camphor rotors. These centi-metre-sized self-moving particles interested me in the active matter at small scales. Currently, at the Microscale Robotics laboratory, I am exploring micron-sized particles from the microscope's lens. I am keen to know the self-organization of Janus colloids in the microchambers and the effect of the curved micro confinement on their dynamics. I am using Microfabrication techniques for the experiments and Active Brownian particle simulations in Julia to answer this question.

This work is a part of the CELLOIDS: Cell-inspired particle-based intelligent microrobots project.
