About ME
I like to think of myself as an evidence-based science detective! I search for curiosity (and funding :D)-driven problems where the answers to the golden circle of "What? How? and Why?" are not trivial. Currently, I investigate the interfacial properties of membraneless organelles found in mammalian cells in the SoftLivingMatter group led by Prof. Cliff Brangwynne at Princeton University. During my PhD, I worked on the interfacial properties of charge-free, phase separating synthetic polymers with Prof. Abraham Joy at The University of Akron. More specifically, I created solutions for unmet needs in underwater adhesive and anti-fouling applications. The research led to the development of the strongest underwater adhesive ever made from single polymer formulation. Our team also invented a quick, cheap, and easy-to-fabricate opioid detecting technology that is currently being explored for its marketing opportunities by ProfProtects LLC, co-founded by Dr. Jain, Prof. Joy, and Dr. Narayanan (:D).
In my spare time, I talk to scientists in the podcast series, The Soft Matter Show. In this show, I try to dissect the career, research, and tools of pioneers in the field of Polymers and Soft Materials.
Otherwise, you will find me eating, driving, hiking, and asking questions!
Now, tell me about the fundamentals of everything! @iAmAllAdhesion
