I am Sandip, PhD student at the Center for Condensed Matter Theory, Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore, India. I am working with Prof. Prabal K. Maiti on the Multiscale modeling of biomolecules like DNA, PNA, Peptide self-assembly using all-atom and Coarse-Grained modeling and DNA nanotechnology.
I have a keen interest in reading and continually expanding my knowledge base. I am passionate about learning new technologies and applying them to solve real-world problems. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and exploring new cultures. I also like to engage in community service and volunteer for various social causes.
Research
My research focuses on the following areas:
- Temperature Induced Melting of PNA Triplex Structures
- Adsorbtion of DNA on the 2D surface of Mn3O4
- TB drug permeation through mycolic acid membrane: A tale of two forcefields
- DNA Nanostructures
Here are some of the projects I have worked on:
- Project 1: Utilization of DNA and 2D metal oxide interaction for an optical biosensor using all-atom Molecular Dynamics Simulation.
- Project 2: DNA Tetrahedral Nanocages as a Promising Nanocarrier for Dopamine Delivery in Neurological Disorders using MD.
- Project 3: Drug-bacterial membrane interactions: A tale of two force fields.
- Project 4: Temperature Induced Melting pathways of DNA triplex vs. PNA triplexes
