Ashok Garai, Ph.D.

I am a theoretical and computational biophysicist with a strong passion for interdisciplinary research. My past and current research interests lie in the field of theoretical and computational biophysics. Throughout my career, I have dedicated my efforts to investigating various areas, including molecular motor transport and traffic, development of stochastic models for genetic networks, theoretical approaches to single-molecule biophysics, and DNA nanomechanics. I develop quantitative theoretical models to understand the mechanisms of active biological processes and validate them through simulations. My future goal is to study general problems of statistical physics with a focus on applications in biology.
