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 at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad in a five-year dual-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 DNS simulations of microplastics in oceanic flows.

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) on active particle chaos dynamics in electrokinetic systems.
