or as we say in India ... "Swagatam!"

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. At Boulder I lead an interdisciplinary research group - FLOWLab - focused on unraveling fundamental complex flow physics and transport phenomena, with an emphasis on biofluid systems. Prior to this, I was an American Heart Association post-doctoral fellow at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of California, Berkeley, and served a short stint as a Visiting Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering at University of Colorado Boulder.
