Chaudhuri

I am a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, working in the laboratory of Prof. Nathalie Vriend. My research sits at the intersection of polymer physics, soft matter mechanics, and experimental rheology.

My work connects molecular-scale polymer dynamics to macroscopic material behavior — from wetting ridge mechanics on polymer melts to granular systems and photoelastic materials. I am also developing OpenRheo, a computational tool for digitizing rheological data from historical literature.

I hold a Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences from CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory, India, and a B.E. in Chemical Engineering from BITS Pilani.
