I am an Assistant Professor at Department of Applied mechanics, IIT Delhi. Earlier, I was a PBC VATAT Postdoctoral fellow at Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. There, I worked on different aspects of flow instabilities of complex fluid flowing in a plane Poiseuille flow with Prof. Victor Steinberg.

Before this, I was postdoc at Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge and worked on air curtains for energy efficient buildings funded by EPSRC with Prof. Paul Linden. There, I carried out laboratory experiments to better understand the dynamics of a human walking through the air-curtain in a doorway, and also the mixing in stratified flows and jets.

During my PhD at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, I studied two phase turbulent flows with the supervision of Prof. R. N. Govardhan. I completed my B.Tech. in Marine Engineering from WBUT with university Bronze medal. I am broadly interested in two phase turbulent flows, mixing in turbulent and stratified flows, flow in blood vessels, droplet dynamics in clouds, polymeric flows, flow instabilities and flow over bluff bodies.
