Postdoctoral Researcher in Mathematics

I am a postdoctoral researcher in applied mathematics at the Institute for Research in Mathematics in Rennes (IRMAR - CNRS UMR 6625) of the University of Rennes in France. I currently work with Loïc Le Marrec in the field of analytical and computational mechanics. My PhD and previous postdoctoral experience were in the fields of real and complex analytic geometry and singularity theory. Before the commencement of my doctoral studies I was a researcher in Numerical Linear Algebra and High Performance Computing (HPC).

My current project is on the modeling and development of numerical methods for simulating the nonlinear dynamics of quasiunidimensional structures (i.e. beams and cables) with non-classical boundary conditions such as moving boundaries and boundaries with material extrusion.

The areas of research that I'm interested in are:

• Analytical and Computational Mechanics: applications of differential geometry to continuum mechanics, development of numerical methods for simulating the dynamics of nonlinear mechanical systems.
• Numerical methods: development of conservative numerical methods for partial differential equations arising from physics, i.e. methods which conserve physical or geometrical invariants of the underlying problem. Also, development of numerical methods for the solution of differential equations on manifolds.
• High Performance Computing: Development of algorithms for scientific computing adapted to massively parallel architectures such as GPUs and supercomputers.

Before I came to France in September 2023, I obtained by PhD from the University of Western Ontario in Canada, under the guidance of Janusz Adamus in 2021. Before that I did research at Georgia Tech in the US. I did my undergraduate studies the top engineering school in India, IIT Kharagpur.

I am bilingual in English (my native language) and French and I have Canadian citizenship.
