Graduate students
- Dhruba Jyoti Mech: Dhruba is studying biomechanical properties of the fibrous materials. He has developed a computational framework (with CUDA parallelization) to study macro/micromechanical properties of fibrous networks. Using this platform we are studying force transmission in articular cartilage.
- Aniket Sabale: As a part of MURL group (with Avinash Eranki), Aniket is studying ultrasound wave propagation in elastic tissues. Using computational FEM simulations, he is exploring the biomechanical impact of high frequency focused ultrasound in biological tissues.
- Sahil Islam: Sahil, formally a student in the department of Physics at IIT hyderabad (with Anupam Gupta), is exploring the role of activity of biological cells on the rheology of epithelial tissues.
- Md Abdullah: Abdullah, in collaboration with Biofabricaion lab, is using computational simulations to study the mechanical microenvironment of cells during 3D bioprinting, and morphing of the bioprinted structures.
- Kusum Seervi: Kusum, formally a student in the department of Physics at IIT hyderabad (with Anupam Gupta), is working on phase separation of active particles.
- Ramesh Kavali and Madhusmita Sethy: Ramesh and Madhusmita have joined us recently and are going through their coursework.
M.Tech. students
- Madhurima Majumdar: Madhurima is develoing AI/ML based models for prediction of rheological properties of epithelial tissues from their images.
Undergraduate students
- Shriram S. B. : Shriram has been working to study the role of noise on gene regulatory networks from an engineering viewpoint.
- Jaswanth Beere : Jaswanth is studying the dynamics of a pair of cells, adhered with mechanosensistive adhesion, in shear flow.
- Safa Rafik: Safa is exploring pattern formation in epithelial tissues and its regulation by cell geometry and mechanics.
Soft and Active Matter Group at IIT Hyderabad
We are also a part of an informal collective "Soft and Active Matter Group" at IIT Hyderabad and organized CompFlu-2024 at IIT Hyderabad.
