I'm a graduate student in Aerospace Engineering at IISc Bengaluru currently working on mechanics of soft magnetic materials. My research focuses on understanding the behavior of ferromagnetic elastic rods under various magnetic field configurations using analytical and numerical methods. I'm particularly interested in studying bifurcations and stability of equilibrium configurations in these systems. My recent work explores Kirchhoff's kinetic analogy applied to ferromagnetic rods, where we discovered novel localized equilibrium solutions arising from homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits. These findings help advance our understanding of how magnetic fields can be used to control the shape and behavior of flexible magnetic structures.

Through my research, I aim to bridge theoretical mechanics with practical applications in soft robotics and smart materials. I'm fascinated by how fundamental physical principles can be applied to develop new technological solutions. I enjoy collaborating with others and approaching problems from both mathematical and physical perspectives.
