Research interests:

At the Rutledge Research Group, I am employing a machine learning model to quantify the degree of crystallinity in united-atom polyethylene, modeled using molecular dynamics simulation.

Bio:

I am originally from Shamli, India. I received my master’s degree in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Mandi in 2019 and later joined the Division Theory of Polymers at the Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden, Germany, in September 2020 as a doctoral researcher.
There, I have worked on analyzing crystallization in polymers using molecular dynamics simulations and machine learning models, focusing on coarse-grained poly(vinyl alcohol).
My research objectives include investigating the underlying signatures of crystallization and modeling the combined impact of crosslinks and deformation on this process.
Apart from research, I enjoy playing table tennis, board games, taking strolls in nature, and traveling.
