Bio
I have extensive experience in computational mechanics gained during my tenure at Johns Hopkins University. Within my dynamic research team, I led the implementation of an innovative integrated framework. This framework combined crystal-plasticity nonlinear finite element analysis with phase-field modeling to simulate crack nucleation and propagation within the intricate microstructures of polycrystalline aluminum and titanium alloys. I have a deep passion for fundamental physics and strong affinity for writing computer code. Throughout my career, I have honed my coding skills in Fortran 90 and Matlab, allowing me to translate intricate theoretical concepts into practical computational solutions. I'm currently exploring the exciting realms of machine learning and AI, using data and algorithms to innovate and tackle complex challenges. I enjoy playing and watching soccer, and I've been a loyal Chelsea fan since 2004. During my undergrad, I played for my departmental soccer team. I'm also passionate about astronomy and watching movies. In the past, I was an active member of the astronomy club at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (2016-17). In my free time, I love traveling, hiking, and learning about various subjects from academia and industry.Project ideas
Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.
A detailed fluid dynamics analysis of the different soccer balls used in the FIFA world cup.
Jabulani was the name of famous soccer ball used in the 2010 FIFA world cup. Many top soccer players expressed their strong dislikes towards the Jabulani. It raised a question amongst scholars that how the interior design of a soccer ball influenced it to curve and swing in the air. A detailed fluid dynamics study of the different soccer balls will be conducted in this project.
Coding skills
Matlab, Python, FortranLanguages I know
Bengali, HindiTeaching experience
In fall 2019, I was TA for the course Finite Element Analysis at Johns Hopkins University. My responsibilities include clearing fundamental concepts of the subject and grading homework. Before JHU, I did TAship at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur for two full years(2016-18). I also mentored high school students to prepare for the engineering and medical entrance examinations during my undergrad(2013).Credentials
