PhD in Computational Biology from The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, India.
Integrated Masters in Physics from University of Mysore, India.

The processes that turn an embryo to an adult, evolution of eukaryotic cell and multicellularity are the broad topics that fascinate me. For my PhD, I focused on understanding mechanisms that give rise to spatiotemporal patters during embryonic development. In the past I have worked on modeling contagion spread on networks, large scale analysis of NYSE stock prices, among other things.
