Hi, I'm Ishant.
I am a Postdoctoral researcher in the Bhamla Lab at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA.
My current research interests are Organismal Biophysics and Soft entangled systems.
For my PhD, I have worked on the ensemble dynamics in tabletop active matter systems. I also have experience in a variety of nonlinear experimental systems studying phenomena like synchronization, oscillation quenching, and stochastic resonance.
