About Me

Current Position

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Michigan State University, supervised by Dr. Josh Vermaas. My work focuses on molecular simulations, computational chemistry/biology, and machine learning to address challenges in drug discovery and biofuel production.

Ph.D. and Research Background

I completed my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar under Dr. Mithun Radhakrishna. My dissertation explored the role of charged residues in protein structural dynamics and adsorption.

Tools Developed

During my Ph.D., I developed several computational tools for protein analysis:

  • PSSA: A web-based platform for analyzing protein sequences and structures.
  • HydroDisPred: Predicts intrinsically disordered regions based on hydrophobicity.
Research Interests

I am passionate about using computational methods to understand complex biological systems and contribute to scientific advancements.
