About

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Guwahati. My research interests lie broadly in the field of Soft Matter. I am particularly interested in rheology and dynamics of various class of complex fluids such as dilute polymer solutions, polymer melts, dense colloidal suspensions etc. The prime focus of my lab will be using sophisticated experimental techniques to understand the behavior of colloids in complex environments.
