Publications
Welcome !
I am a Post-doctoral researcher at the Institut für Theoretische Physik, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (Germany), working in the group of Prof. Peter Sollich, where my primary focus is on investigating the mechanical response of active amorphous solids. Previously, I held a post-doctoral position in the group of Prof. Alessio Zaccone at the University of Milan (Italy), studying the mechanical and vibrational properties of amorphous materials. During my Ph.D. at The Institute of Mathematical Sciences Chennai (India), I worked with Prof. Pinaki Chaudhuri to understand the thermal and mechanical response of glassy systems, mostly using large-scale simulations. In general, I am interested in the broad area of soft matter systems.
Research Interests:
- Active amorphous materials
- Vibrational properties of amorphous solids
- Mechanical response of amorphous materials: Yielding, Plasticity, Shear-banding, Modulus
- Inhomogeneity in glassy systems and its mechanical consequences
- Thermal response of glass-forming systems: Thermophoresis, Local heating/cooling, Thermal processing
- Rheology of complex fluids: Micro-response, Macro-response, Structural changes
- Flow under confinement: Poiseuille flow, Couette flow
