Welcome!

I am a Computational Scientist, currently working at Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). STFC is part of UK Research and Innovation. I am broadly interested in High perforamnce computing, computational modelling, and compuational tool development.

Before joining STFC, I worked with Pfizer as a Process Modeller and Data Scientist.

I had a short stint as a Research Associate in the Institute for Infrastructure and Environment at the University of Edinburgh, UK. My work delt with the mathematical modelling of complex shaped granular particles using Discrete Element Method (DEM). In this project I developed a package SHDEM in LAMMPS (open Source C++ based package by Sandia National Laboratory, USA) to model irregular shaped objects.

I completed my joint doctoral dissertation titled, Influence of particle smoothness and substrate mechanics on the clustering of self-propelled rods from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Monash University and Department of Physics at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. My key fundamental finding was based on mathematical modelling of stochastic systems such as active-matter and characterization of their spatio-temporal patterns by developing novel algorithms
