Nandish Vora
I am a first year PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania in the Physics department. I am advised by Prof. Arratia (Penn Complex Fluids Lab). My research objective is to understand the interaction between living organisms and fluids in nature with applications to environmental phenomena. Previously I have worked on experimental projects about the rheology of ice mélange and understanding coalescence of confined droplets. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and Applied Mathematics from Emory University in 2023.
Projects
- Dynamics of swimming microorganisms in time periodic flows. Understanding how different swimming mechanisms interact with flows and effects as the system is driven to turbulence
Previous Experience
- Undergraduate Research Assistant at BurtonLab@Emory, Emory University, 2021-2023
Presentations
- Ice mélange and the rheology of floating granular materials (Emory University), Gordon Research Conference – Granular Materials, Stonehill College, 2022
- Bridging the gap: New physics in confined droplet coalescence, Emory University, 2023
