From flocks of birds to collectives of bacteria, everwhere in nature there are examples of many simple entities sponateously forming organised structures. This fascinating phenomenon is called self-organisation and it forms the basis of my scientific curiosity. I am a postdoctoral researcher in the physical intelligence department. I am interested in understanding the fundamental principles responsible for self-organisation in systems out of equilibrium. I develop and study model experimental systems where interactions between simple entities can be programmed to facilitate their self-organisation into diverse spatiotemporal structures on demand.

I was an IMPRS-IS scholar at MPI-IS and I received my doctoral degree (magna cum laude) from the faculty of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Stuttgart in May, 2023. I did my undergraduate studies in Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kgp).
