I am interested in the study of the suspension of soft particles in stokes flow This work is motivated by its numerous applications in bio-fluid mechanics, food industry, emulsion and hemo rheology.

I try to understand the mechanics of granular materials through particle dynamics simulations. In particluar, I study flow in a cylindrical Couette geometry using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). I am also interested in force transmission in granular systems.

Granular Media is ubiquitious in its usage yet there is very little understanding of its rheological phenomena. I work on understanding these details though a combination of experiments and DEM simulations

I work on emergence of collective behavior in bacteria, with Vibrio fischeri as the model system. I try to understand the effect of chemical signalling and physical crowding on the phenotypes such as luminescence, motility, and biofilm formation.

I am studying the motion of a spherical particle near a porous slab to understand the effect of the slab permeability, slip and thickness on the fluid pressure. This study is helpful in understanding the validity of the current reports on shear induced particle pressure measurements using a couette device.

Mechanical behaviour of human hair fibre under tensile stress is modelled using discrete elements such as spring and dashpot. Experimental data for stress relaxation, hysteresis and stress-strain behaviour is generated. Model is validated using experimental data to get parameter values.
