About me
I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment of Princeton University. I received my B.S. degree in chemical engineering from Jadavpur University in 2012 and my PhD degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Florida in 2018 . During my Ph.D., I studied cells in jammed microgels with Prof. Tommy Angelini. As a postdoc, I'm currently working with Prof. Sujit Datta on understanding and controlling the behavior of bacterial colonies in porous media. |

While flexible rings swell with an increase in activity, inextensible and semiflexible rings monotonically shrink upon increasing the strength of the active force. Together, our findings identify the optimal migration of active ring polymers through porous media. (3/3)

Expansion and shrinking of flexible and inextensible ring polymers in the pore space allow them to navigate smoothly. In contrast, semiflexible rings undergo transient trapping inside the pore space; the degree of trapping decreases with the increase in active forces. (2/3)

Our first collaboration after joining @NCBS_Bangalore. Working with @Chakrabarti_Lab @BhaskarLigesh and Subhashis Chaki, we explore the dynamics of flexible, inextensible, and semiflexible active ring polymers inside disordered porous media. (1/3) t.co/fHZoBfCSF1
