I am an assistant professor at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, India. I have worked in the area of drying colloidal dispersion, non-Newtonian fluid flow. Most recently, my research has focused on biological application of deformable nano-carriers. Prior to joining Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad in 2015, I was a postdoc at University of Pennsylvania from 2013 to 2015, Cornell University from 2011 to 2013 and served Praxair as an engineer from 2005 to 2006. I have received a PhD from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 2011.
