I am currently a postoctoral fellow in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech working with Prof. Annalisa Bracco.

I recently completed PhD in applied mathematics at the University of New Hampshire, working with Prof John F Gibson on transition to turbulence in shear flows. Prior to this, I was an MS student at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bengaluru, India. I worked with Prof Alam at JNCASR on pattern formation in compressible Taylor-Couette flow. I obtained a BE(Hons.) in mechanical engineering from BITS Pilani, India.

An overarching theme of my research so far is pattern formation and nonlinear dynamics of rotating, stratified and/or sheared flows. I am also interested in scientific computation, bifurcation theory and symmetry breaking. In near future, I would like to explore these ideas in geophysical, astrophysical and/or biological contexts.

Apart from research, I am interested in ancient cultures and martial arts. I play Tabla and a bit of Ukulele (only occasionally nowadays). I try to maintain a blog where I write about things, predominantly non-academic in nature, that I find intriguing.
