Aritra Roy

Hello! I’m Aritra Roy from Kolkata, India. I completed my schooling at Calcutta Boys' School, Kolkata. From my high school days, I have had a passion for solving mathematics problems, particularly in geometry and calculus. I enjoy approaching problems as puzzles and searching for compact, elegant solutions.

Currently, I am in the M.Tech program at IIT Bombay. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and Mining Machinery Engineering at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad in a five-year double-major track. My undergraduate thesis advisor was Prof. Sandipan Kumar Das. I also worked under Prof. Antarip Poddar on electrokinetic efficiency in electroosmotic flows and completed an S. N. Bhatt Fellowship at ICTS-TIFR under Prof. Rama Govindarajan on formulating the theoretical free-space fundamental solution for Oseen flow and built an in-house Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) solver. Modeled the inertial sedimentation dynamics, hydrodynamic drag, and orientation behavior of dibilateral objects possessing dual planes of symmetry.

My research interests include fluid mechanics, computational modeling, meshless numerical methods, and electrokinetic systems. I also enjoy writing computational blogs, solving riddles, playing chess, and reading crime thrillers. I am currently collaborating with Dr. Rahil Valani (Oxford University) on active particle chaos dynamics in electrokinetic systems.
