Discovering the fundamental rules of the soft matter systems (physical and biological) using analog computing and machine learning toolkit.
Philosophy 1: Catering to the increasing energy demands of ML hardware by architecting powerful physical computing devices.
Philosophy 2: Understanding the impact of ongoing climate crisis on the functioning of marine organisms (i.e., biophysics of regeneration).

Navier-Stokes regularity, fluid computing, and machine learning workshop
This post is intended as an advertisement or extended abstract and open invitation for community of researchers who work at the interface of: (a) fluid mechanics; (b) machine learning and analog computing; (c) functional analysis of Navier-Stokes equations, to attend a series of talks in an upcoming workshop at the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences.…
A new preprint is out: experimental evidence of hydrodynamic singularity
On January 2020, my collaborator Dr Victor Kang saw a geometrically appealing observation, while performing receding-contact-line tests on pitcher fluids (as part of our previous collaboration; see the article here). What he observed was the formation of fractal-like ordered structures when the drop of a pitcher fluid is withdrawn inwards. These structures were formed at…
Few Drops of Consciousness: a new book out
This blog is an update of my new poetry book, titled, “Few Drops of Consciousness”. The title might hint that this book has got to do something with consciousness. But it would mean that the word “drop” is meaningless here – but this is not true. This book is, in its core, a dedication in…
“A complexity perspective on fluid mechanics” : Blog
This post is a summary of the new preprint that can be accessed here. Contributions: The article was conceived and written after a long series of inspiring discussion with Dr Giulia Marcucci and later joined by an undergraduate student, Adnan Mahmud, who I supervised 2 years ago at the department of CEB, Cambridge. Informal story:…
Digital Fluid Mechanics
“Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes”. This statement, albeit poetic, has its origins in another poetic catchphrase “It from Bit” popularised by J.A. Wheeler in 1990s, arguing that information is at the core of physical systems. Information, encoded into bits, 0s and 1s, can be useful to compute things…
Turbulence: part 2
Statistical physics-informed turbulence:Navier-Stokes equations have been long used to theorise turbulence; most likely because of the pedestal these equations have got. However, at sub-Kolmogorov scales, the intrinsic effects due to molecules can also get important; which transforms the deterministic nature of fluids to fluctuating, stochastic nature. The additional term in NS is the fluctuating stress,…
Tarkovskian poetic cinema and complex systems
What fascinates me the most about cinema is that it can be both static and dynamic; stable and unstable; real and imaginary; it is the visual world of the director. Addition of sounds makes it both visual and auditary. To qualify as an art form, cinema needs to convey the story from director’s subjective world…
Interdisciplinary Journal Club
