Builds point-of-care blood diagnostics and patient-specific digital twins of neurovascular disease, across experiment, simulation, and theory.

Full bio on the About page.

I build stenosis-on-chip microfluidic devices and nanotherapeutics for vascular disease, and study how blood rheology and vessel mechanics shape its progression and its response to treatment.

Background: B.Pharm, Guru Ghasidas Central University; M.Tech Biotechnology, Vellore Institute of Technology; PhD Medical Science and Technology, IIT Kharagpur, 2025, on targeted nanomedicine for atherosclerosis, under Prof. Soumen Das.

Outside research: I travel when I can, take photographs, and spend time with family and friends.

I work on how the composition of blood governs its flow behaviour and mechanical properties, and on a microfluidic platform to measure those changes in conditions such as sepsis and anemia.

Background: B.Sc. Zoology (Hons.), Banaras Hindu University, 2021; M.Sc. Life Science, NIT Rourkela, 2023; CSIR Project Junior Research Fellow at PGIMER Chandigarh, 2024.

Outside research: I enjoy music, reading and writing. I play badminton and practise yoga regularly, and I travel whenever I get the chance.

I work on developing the wet-lab models of the moyamoya brain circulation, and flow measurement before and after neurosurgical bypass.

Background: M.Pharm Pharmacology, Girijananda Chowdhury University. Institute-funded PhD.

Outside research: I enjoy travelling and discovering new places through their food and culture. I love trying different cuisines, exploring cafés and restaurants, and experimenting with baking in my free time. I also enjoy listening to music, which helps me relax and recharge.

I am currently working on computational modelling of stenosis-induced changes in hemodynamics and their application in cerebrovascular diseases.

Background: B.Tech Biotechnology, PSG College of Technology.

Outside research: Catch me on the badminton court when I need a break or experimenting in the kitchen trying out new recipes!

I am currently working on hemodynamic analysis of aneurysm clipping pre- and post-surgery using computational models.

Background: B.Tech Biotechnology, SASTRA University.

Outside research: When I am not focusing on my studies, I love tuning into podcasts, especially ones about movies, finance, and administration. I am also a huge cricket fan, so you will often find me playing or catching a match in my free time.

I am currently working on blood flow in porous media for diagnostic devices and its applications in improving lateral flow assays for point-of-care testing.

Background: B.Tech Electrical Engineering, Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology.

Outside research: I am usually found on the football field, either watching a match or playing one. I also enjoy diving into history podcasts and conspiracy theories, catching a good movie, and unwinding with music.

I am working on developing a mathematical model to identify the behaviour of microplastics in water bodies, and then extending it to a theoretical investigation of the fluid mechanics of microplastics in blood.

Background: B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, third year.

Outside research: I enjoy working on physical systems. Outside academics, I play badminton, watch movies, and enjoy writing, travelling, and spending time with friends.
