I am interested in the statistical thermodynamics of solids with long-range order. I employ mathematical modelling and develop advanced simulation algorithms to describe complex phenomenology observed in solids ranging from metallic alloys to soft condensed materials. I have a PhD in Physical Chemistry from the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, India. I am currently employed as a Senior Scientist at the Institute of Materials Physics in Space, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Köln, Germany.
