I am a PhD student in Physics, currently part of the Theory of Soft Condensed Matter research group at IMSc, Chennai, India. My primary research interest is the study of the nature and dynamics of active chemomechanical matter; be it a single swimming microorganism, a suspension of such elements interacting hydrodynamically, or a filament constructed out of active elements. My current goal is to provide a mathematically rigorous framework to describe the physics of active motility. For further info, please visit https://sites.google.com/site/somdebghose/.
