 Educational Background/Employment:
  • Ph.D. (2016) Biophysics, State University of New York, Buffalo, USA
  • M.Sc. (2009) Physics, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, India
  • B.Sc. (2007) Physics, Presidency College, University of Calcutta, India
  • Employment:
    • 2018-present: Postdoctoral Research Associate, Los Alamos National Laboratory
    • 2016-2017: Visiting Scientist, IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, NY

Research Interests:

  • I am interested in computer-aided structural modeling and simulations of biomolecules. My current research aims to elucidate the conformational dynamics of HIV envelope glycoproteins and ultimately aid in designing knowledge-based therapeutic strategies. Towards this goal, I am applying atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations and working on developing novel tools and techniques to bridge in silico models and experimental results through bioinformatics-based data mining and statistical analyses.
