Shambhavi Dikshit
About:
Her expertise is in agent-based simulation, coarse-grained hydrodynamic equations of motion to study active matter.Her interests span areas like the ordering kinetics of clean active systems and active systems with the quenched inhomogeneity or disorder in the background environment using microscopic and coarse grained approach,modelling of active polar fluid from coarse grained formalism and observing its ordering kinetics. Modelling of the binary mixture of active and passive particles and observation of the activity induced phase separation and ordering kinetics of passive particles in active medium are some of her active research works.
Pawan Kumar Mishra
About:
Pawan Kumar Mishra is pursuing his PhD with Dr. Shradha Mishra in the field of soft and active matter theory. Main focus of his PhD work is to understand the effect of disorder in steady state and kinetics of collection of self-propelled particles. He uses numerical as well as analytical techniques to understand the system. Mr. Kumar did his M.Sc. in Physics from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology Nagpur.
Pratikshya Jena
About:
She did her Master's from BHU and is currently pursuing her Ph.D. from IIT (BHU) . She mainly uses coarse-grained method or field theoretic formalism to study the ordering kinetics or growth kinetics and steady state properties of the systems of self-propelled particles in a clean as well as disordered environment using numerical simulation and linearized calculation to understand such active systems.
Partha Sarathi Mondal
About:
Partha Sarathi Mondal holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree from The University of Burdwan. Currently, he is pursuing his Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Shradha Mishra. His research is centered around investigating the dynamical properties of particles and characterizing novel structures that emerge in mixtures composed of two different types of particles possessing different symmetries.
Divya Kushwaha
About:
She did her M.Sc. in Physics from BHU. She is pursuing her Ph.D. in the field of Active Brownian Particles Theory. Main focus of her Ph.D. work is on Binary Mixtures and their response to the various tuning parameters of the studied system. She uses numerical techniques to understand the collective behavior of a system comprising of interacting self propelled and passive particles. Her research area encompasses topics like the dynamics of effective interaction between the constituent particles of binary mixtures.
Anish Kumar
About:
He did his Master's from IIT (BHU) Varanasi and is currently studying the cooperative behaviour of systems of asymmetric active particles using Viscek based algorithms . He has been awarded the prestigious Prime Minister's Research Fellowship in 2022. His work has extensions to the application of machine learning algorithms to understand non equilibrium statistical models .
Abhra Puitandy
About:
He did his Master's from BHU and is currently working on dynamics of single particle behaviour in a system strutted with parametrized obstacle orientations. His study also deals with the behaviour of a non equilibrium statistical system in response to disorder and characterizing the exponents that may arise out of the ordering insuch systems.
