I started my adventure with the Soft Condensed Matter Group in July 2018. Since then, I have been working with DNA interactions in the crowded environment, biochemical catalysis, and the motion of ssDNA in and between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Currently, I am a first-year Ph.D. student, and I’m developing a microfluidic-based system for the fast determination of the equilibrium constant for biomolecular complexes and its application to RNA-DNA interactions, as well as on the physical explanation of the molecular crowding effect. In my free time, I explore the secrets of the Universe, dive, and do taekwondo.

Born in Kolkata, India. Graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Jadavpur University, Kolkata in 2012.

I graduated from Warsaw University of Technology, where I studied biotechnology and bioengineering. My main field of interest is DNA molecule. By applying FCS and brightness method, I study equilibrium constants and kinetics of the reactions occurring between DNA and small fluorescent molecules.
