I am a PhD student at Theory of Complex system lab, under the supervision of Dr. Andrew Callan-Jones. Dr. Raphaël Voituriez is my co-supervisor. I am currently investigating the behaviour of Active fluids on curved surfaces, using a combination of both analytical approaches and numerical techniques. Prior to this, I did my masters at TU Dresden in Computational Modelling and Simulation, where I had worked with Dr. Steffen Rulands and Dr. Abhinav Sharma.
