I am a theoretical soft matter physicist working at the interface of soft-matter and Biophysics. I use a combination of analytical and numerical techniques in understanding the behaviour of complex adaptive matter. Some of my research interests include 

- theoretical modeling of optical manipulation of droplet shapes using laser beams

- single chain and self-assembly of dressed polymer architectures 

- mechanical shaping of soft materials via elasto-plastic deformation

- understanding defect phases and flow behaviour of liquid crystals

- understanding compaction and transport of soft structures at the nanoscale

- diffusion and signalling through skin and tissues

- occular biomechanics
