Three Peaks of Lavaredo, Italy. July 2017
My academic training was primarily in theoretical physics and applied mathematics. I completed my PhD in Mathematical Sciences (Supervisor: Dr Rosemary J. Harris, now UCL, Dept. of Mathematics) from Queen Mary University of London in September 2021. I explored the structure and foundations of non-equilibrium statistical physics. Simply speaking, ‘non-equilibrium’ physics captures imbalance or motion or flow, in short, life. Every living system is effectively out of equilibrium. Results from this field are applicable to a wide variety of systems ranging from biological systems, climate-change models to stock-market predictions. I did my undergraduate studies in India and hold a BS-MS Dual Degree in Physical Sciences from IISER Kolkata.
Science often benefits from good illustration and design choices and the end goal is to communicate findings. I strongly believe that aesthetically appealing illustrations and scientific rigour are not antithetical to each other. Guided by this philosophy, I strive to bring the mental imagery of researchers to life on screen using my creative skills. Acting as a bridge between academics and illustrators, I create conceptual schematics that are scientifically accurate and often do not exist in literature. I have collaborated with senior academics, tenured faculties and postdoc fellows to create custom graphics for grant proposals, academic journals, websites and books.
