Hi, I'm Shivam Gupta

Prime Minister Research Fellow (PMRF)
Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK)

I am a computational biophysicist interested in exploring the physical principles governing biological processes at the cellular level. I joined the Computational Soft Matter and BioPhysics Group at IITK in 2022 to work under the supervision of Dr. Taraknath Mandal.

My current research focuses on understanding how microdomains form in cell membranes and their role in the binding and sensing of membrane proteins, using molecular dynamics simulations.
