Postdoctoral fellow at @Brandeis Experimental Physicist | Soft and Active Matter| #WomenInSTEM #ActiveMatter #DNAorigami
Joined June 2014
Excited to share our paper in Nature Communications! We developed a system of deformable active cell mimics & observed a reentrant #jamming transition mediated by cell shape changes. #active #glassy #cellshape #research #confluent @Rajesh_JNCASR

Happy to share that I had the opportunity to be part of a research project published in @PhysRevB , "Stacking-dependent electronic structure of ultrathin perovskite bilayers." While my contribution was small, it was an incredible learning experience. https://t.co/PWhfehpsAq

BPS Postdoc Breakfast reminded me that networking isn’t just about career moves—it’s about shared struggles, real conversations, and finding a sense of belonging in the scientific community. Converse. Talk. Meet. Reach out. If you are at BPS, feel free to reach out! #bps2025

Research is messy. Experiments fail, data can be confusing, but every setback brings us closer to breakthroughs. It’s not about perfection, it’s about persistence. #PhDLife #PostdocStruggles #ScienceTwitter #ResearchReality #ProgressOverPerfection

"Diversity is really important in science. First of all, I think that if you want to have the best scientific outcomes, you need a lot of different brains working on it." - Chemistry laureate @doudna_lab on diversity in science. Read the interview: https://t.co/QHtle42k8Y
