I’m interested in understanding how mechanical forces can influence characteristics of cells. As Xavier Trepat had once said, “Considering only genes and biomolecules is like trying to write a book with only half the letters of the alphabet.” This has resonated with me greatly and is currently on a post-it note at my desk. In my free time, I like watching anime, gaming and trying out new restaurants. Or just go for a siesta.

Works with: G. K. Ananthasuresh (Mechanical Engineering) and Saumitra Das (MCB)

Project title: Mechanobiology of liver cirrhosis

I have a keen interest for peering into all the goings-on of a cell. I joined BSSE with a desire to do inter-disciplinary research for answering questions on intracellular organisation and dynamics. Specifically, my work revolves around understanding how phagosomal maturation of synthetic polymeric targets proceeds in macrophages.

I am also a dancer, and I have trained, performed, and choreographed in multiple styles over the years. Other things I am passionate about include the performing arts and (amateur) observational astronomy.

Works with: Dr. Siddharth Jhunjhunwala, ImmunoEngineering Laboratory

Project title: Intracellular tracking of polymeric particles post phagocytosis
