About me

I specialize in developing computational frameworks for predicting the behaviour of complex multi-scale and multi-physics systems. My expertise encompasses the development of analytical models, Finite Element Method (FEM) based frameworks, and the execution of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to gain insights into and predict the light and/or heat-activated responses of liquid crystal polymers. My proficiency extends to precisely calibrating unknown parameters in the models, allowing for replicating experimentally observed phenomena. Furthermore, my research portfolio includes the development of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) based numerical framework to simulate the thermo-mechanical behaviour of granular systems. 

Over the years, I have published in peer-reviewed journals such as Applied Physics Reviews, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal of Applied Physics, The Journal of Chemical Physics, Mechanics of Materials, Soft Matter, Chemical Communications, Fusion Engineering and Design, Computational Particle Mechanics, Granular Matter, and ChemistryOpen. I have experience with different software such as MATLAB, Materials Studio, Abaqus (Standard, user sub-routines), Ansys (Fluent, CFX, Static/Transient Structural), LAMMPS, Aspen plus, Inventor, Parametric CREO, Simulink, Tecplot, Latex Documentation, and Microsoft Office. Besides, I have also used Fortran and Python during different projects.
