My lab is interested in understanding physical and biomechanical principles that drive morphogenesis in living organisms. We aim to develop computational models to predict the outcome of a biological process based on available experimental evidence, which guides new experiments to challenge the predictions and offer an optimized model-experiment framework for biological discoveries.

For Ph.D. admissions, there are two routes:

Direct route: If you have a fellowship for a Ph.D. program (CSIR/UGC/DBT JRF, INSPIRE Fellowship, etc), you can apply at any time of the year. In this case, please write me an email mentioning your research interests and tentative timeline for joining. I will forward your application to the School of Biology.

Regular route: You can also apply through the PhD call from IISER TVM (which happens twice a year). There will be shortlisting based on application, and shortlisted candidates will be called for interviews.
